Article 'huissier' for deletion

The article is about a term that is not at all used in English language texts. It is most straightforwardly a French language word and therefore does not deserve an article on the English language WP, which is neither a translation dictionary nor an etymological dictionary for foreign languages. The entire content simply belongs in an etymological dictionary of the French language — and only there and in a French language encyclopedia is where 'huissier' should occur. On the French language Wikipedia, 'huissier' even redirects to 'huissier de justice' and these words have their equivalent in English language: 'bailiff' (which has multiple meanings including historical and present-day meanings of both French words), and in case some meanings in French would correspond to another English word, e.g. 'usher', then that too is to be found in a French-English translation dictionary: Nearly every word in any language, includes some minor distinction(s) from the corresponding word in any other language. This does not cause all encyclopediae in all the languages of the world, to incorporate entries for nearly all words from all the other languages. A cupboard in France is probably different from a cupboard in Germany, or in China, or in England etc. — As long as the Chinese, German or French word is not found in fluent English texts, the subject (and possibly its local specific aspects) must be described solely under the entry 'cupboard' in an English language encyclopedia, hence this here encyclopedia must not have a redirect from 'huissier' to an entry (i.e. article name) by an English term. The etymoligical origin of the foreign words, must never be mentioned under that English language entry (less this origin would relate to the etymological origin of that English word).​▲ SomeHuman 2011-02-18 05:05-05:43 (UTC)

The word huissier thus designates two professions that originally had to do with opening and closing doors.which two? Only one is mentioned. And how is it related to aegis?--2.247.244.72 (talk) 15:31, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
