- Content should be preserved somewhere, but Wikipedia is definitely not a Spanish slang dictionary. Isomorphic 17:59, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

- Keep. Article already refers to the 16th century history which could be expanded. Added link [1]. But should Germanía be separate from Germania? --Zigger 22:08, 2004 Apr 28 (UTC)
- Move to Wiktionary. RickK 22:21, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Merge with the several things at the existing Germania and keep. I found it interesting; we have an (admittedly much better) article on Verlan, so it seems an appropriate topic. The history of the name intrigues me; was this region settled by Germans, Goths, or even goths? What was the rebellion about? Examples would help. Smerdis of Tlön 01:11, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- The name germanía is said [2] to be derived from Catalan "germà", brother; so germanía is a brotherhood (like a guild or union). So it doesn't appear to be related to German, etymologically. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:26, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep: historical and cultural term. The existing article is a good start. Don't merge with Germania -- that's a different word, although maybe disambiguation would be helpful. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:26, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, interesting enough. -- Graham :) | Talk 15:05, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Just for crime
I removed:
- Germanía is the term used in Spanish to refer to any slang or argot considered as improper, vulgar or inappropriate;
- Nowadays, germanía is used to indicate slang or argot coming from the misuse of words, or the use of anglicisms and obscenities.
The DRAE and the usage I prefer don't use germanía for any jargon, just for crime jargon and probably just for Classical Spain.
For the current argot, the words I'd use would be jerga, argot, cheli but not germanía.
