RfC on the terminology of Indian Astronauts - 'Vyomanauts' or 'Astronauts'[edit]

Which terminology is used to refer to Indian astronauts? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 13:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most, if not all of the news media I've seen about Indian astronauts refer to them as "astronauts", not "vyomanauts". 🔥Jala peño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 16:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the RFC tag per WP:RFCBEFORE. This topic should be discussed before opening a RFC. Nemov (talk) 18:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nemov: There was a discussion here User talk:LakhnawiNawab#Vyomanaut?. Is it necessary to have it on the talk page? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, RFC should be seen as last resort to find consensus. You can request a third party as well. Nemov (talk) 19:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I am going to wait a day or two to check if LakhnawiNawab replies. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 20:09, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Use "astronaut" as everyday English found in all dictionaries and understood by essentially everyone. An obscure "Sanskritlish" cross-language neologism (seems to be about two years old) recognisable to nearly no one is not helpful to our readers (except perhaps in a parenthetical or footnote about the alternative term). This is not comparable to "cosmonaut", which entered English (rapidly) in the early 1960s and has been with us since, widely recognisable. "Vyomanaut" is in a class with Chinese "taikonaut", generally found only in specialist materials, and isolated news items that explain the term. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 02:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
