Is the problem that some non-Jews think that the word "Goy" is a slur is because they use the word "Jew" as a slur? SunDog | Talk 19:28, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
The question of whether goy in English has a pejorative sense is a constant source of contention on this page. There are a number of considerations here: 1) We are talking about the meaning of the word "goy" in English - not Hebrew or Yiddish
2) Three English dictionaries are cited as references on this point all of which confirm that there is sometimes a pejorative sense. If anything the dictionaries say it more strongly - eg the oxford dictionary cited says Goy is "often offensive."
3) The article says that goy "sometimes" has a pejorative sense. Not always.
4) The article has a detailed section on "goy as a slur" which presents views of people who don't believe it should be primarily understood as pejorative.

Hello, I'll be reviewing this article based on the Good Article criteria and related guidelines. I am not experienced in this topic, so the full review would take a while.
I've decided to stop the review here. Many of the sources are unreliable/questionable as said above (ex. Israel Today/ Israel Hayom, which is not a RS per discussions at WP:RSN). These can easily be swapped with more scholarly/more reliable sources, again, as said above. However, I expect the changes to affect the article drastically, so I'll be marking this review as on hold to give you some time to swap these sources and add more information if needed. If you have any questions, please ask. Spinixster (chat!) 01:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
