Original research. RickK 06:01, Oct 31, 2004 (UTC)
- This doesn't appear to be entirely original research (one off-Wikipedia reference exists) but is definitely not that important. Redirect to gender-neutral pronoun, maybe merge a very brief mention of it there. —No-One Jones (m) 06:08, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Found one internal reference to Xe at Sie and hir#Variants. Agree with merge to gender-neutral pronoun and redirect. -- Netoholic @ 06:17, 2004 Oct 31 (UTC)
- I felt this would be inapprpriate in the gender-neutral pronouns page because it is a survey of how gender neutral pronouns are handled in other languages and not of specific pronouns; also because Sie_and_hir has its own page, it looked as if each gender neutral pronoun has its own page. I couldn't just add xe/xyr/xem to that page because it is already titled after specific gender neutral pronouns. It would probably be more appropriate to have all the gender neutral pronouns on one page, but on a page separate from gender-neutral pronouns because that page is a survey of how different languages handle gender neutral pronouns. I believe a new page should be created that should include xe/xem/xyr and sie/hir, and I believe the Sie and hir page should be redirected to that as well as Xe (pronoun).

- Redirect; for all we know, these terms are original coinages. Lacrimosus 20:41, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- They're not, I don't think. This is an article from 2000 that describes the forms. It seems to have caught on in discussions of autism.
Keep. --jpgordon{gab} 07:42, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)- Changing vote. The information is expandable; perhaps a section in gender-neutral pronouns called something like "Synthetic gender-neutral pronouns]] would be the right place in that article for that (and sie/hir and so on.) Merge to gender-neutral pronouns. --jpgordon{gab} 22:46, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Insufficient (near zero) evidence that this has caught on. I see the article itself has no external references. To get a article for something like this, there should be some combination of substantial web hits and substantial print references; this article has neither. Wile E.

- Keep. Notable proposal, no namespace confusion. --L33tminion | (talk) 16:17, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep I've heard it in use...it's good idea. [[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]] 20:10, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Move info to Wiktionary, redirect to gender neutral pronoun or sie and hir. Martin 14:55, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
