Talk:Emirati

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Redundant to sense 1 (we typically merge "person from" and "citizen of" senses - see eg German or American). Not sure why it's marked historical - the UAE is a recent state, and before its creation it was called Trucial Oman. Smurrayinchester (talk) 13:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as redundant. But I suspect this is not the full story; maybe they wanted to add a definitions saying emirati was someone from any emirate, copied the first definition and forgot to change half of it. — Ungoliant (falai) 15:17, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Merge and look at sense #3 because I don't know what it's on about and why it's not the same as #1 and #2. What Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV just said in other words. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:24, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- RFD failed. I don't think that sense #3 (now sense #2) is redundant, by the way — some writers seem to make a distinction, claiming that some people residing in the UAE are not Emiratis. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:06, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
