== [[:elder#rfd-notice-en-|elder]] ==

One who is older than another.
: {{ux|en|Respect your '''elders'''.}}

This sense was removed by Mechanical Keyboarder on 28 April, with the edit summary “redundant”. We still have the translation table. [[User:J3133|J3133]] ([[User talk:J3133|talk]]) 06:19, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
: Where it was, [https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=elder&diff=prev&oldid=72859724 diff]. It might have been considered redundant to sense 1, "An older person". ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 23:18, 19 June 2023 (UTC)''
::Yeah this is difficult. I strongly support keeping the deleted sense ... it's definitely not redundant ... but Im having a hard time explaining why.   Maybe it would've been more clear if we hadnt used the word ''older'' in the deleted sense with its literal meaning and in sense 1 with its idiomatic meaning of someone who is advanced in age ("elderly").  Further complicating things is that I think ''elder'' can also be used both ways, e.g. an ''elder child'' can be six years old, but the ''elders of the community'' cannot.

::: My Oxford Dictionary of English has:
::: (one's elders) people who are older than one: ''schoolchildren were no less fascinated than their elders''.
::: (one's elder) a person who is older than one by a specified length of time: ''she was two years his elder''.
::: Turning to Collins, my copy says, "an older person, one's senior", before covering tribal and religious elders. Online. Collins says: "A person's elder is someone who is older than them, especially someone quite a lot older: ''The young have no respect for their elders''. 
::: On this basis, I '''recommend that the deleted sense is reinstated'''. ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 14:23, 20 June 2023 (UTC)''
:'''Merge senses?''' The definition of the first sense, “An [[older]] person”, is problematic. We give two senses for {{m|en|older}}: 1. “{{en-comparative of|old}}, [[elder]], [[senior]]” and 2. “[[elderly]]”. A user who is not proficient in English cannot know that in “An [[older]] person” the comparative is meant; used as a noun, ''elder'' – whether “an elder” or ”someone’s elder”, does not mean “an elderly person”. (The person referred to may of course happen to be elderly, but this is not conveyed by the term.) That said, like the deleting editor, I suspect that the intention of this definition is the same as that of the deleted sense, so instead of simply reinstating it, I think they should be merged into something unambiguous, such as “Someone who is [[older]] {{qualifier|than another person}}.” &nbsp;--[[User:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 14:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
: +1 to merging with the first sense.  I can't imagine saying, of an older person, "see that elder across the way?"  it has to be relative [someone's elder, my / your elder]. [[User:Sj|+sj]] [[User talk:Sj|+]] 20:06, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::This is really an RFV question, isn't it? I think of the YouTube series "Elders React", where the participants were referred to as {{m|en|elders}} in a non-relative sense, in the same way as the word {{m|en|seniors}} is used.

:Hmm. My first reaction was that these could be merged with sense 1 as ~"An older person {{q|especially relative to someone else}}". But could they, really? Maybe the difference in what "older" means in one vs the other, as Lambiam points out, suggests it's better to keep the senses separate like this (though I would move them next to each other for clarity and redefine this one more like "(in particular) A person who is older than someone else, in relation to that person").

:keep. [[User:Allahverdi Verdizade|Allahverdi Verdizade]] ([[User talk:Allahverdi Verdizade|talk]]) 22:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

:: This sense of "toll" seems to be usable for any figurative "cost" in the form of negative effects. Phrases like "exact a heavy toll" come to mind, not to mention "pay a price". "Take" is fairly strongly collocated because it alliterates and works well prosodically with "toll", in the same way the "pay" and "price" go together. Whatever comes in between is prosodically unimportant, so it can be almost anything that makes sense. [[User:Chuck Entz|Chuck Entz]] ([[User talk:Chuck Entz|talk]]) 00:08, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
* Either '''delete''' [[take its toll]] or [[take a toll]]. Maybe it would be better if both are deleted and instead consolidated to something like [[take toll]], mentioning the reflexive/impersonal sense? Besides, [[take its toll]] is basically just [[take a toll]] with a preposition.

== [[:stem mutation#rfd-notice-en-|stem mutation]] ==

Originally this entry claimed it was a synonym of [[apophony]] / [[ablaut]], meaning an internal vowel change like ''get'' vs. ''got''. That's trivially false: of the first 5 relevant results I found on Google Books, 3 of them were talking about consonant changes (e.g. "nominal morphology of conservative Adamawa Fula is characterised by ... nominal <u>stem mutation</u> based on a system of initial consonant alternation" [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=nZv7DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA138]).

== [[abstinence#rfd-sense-notice-en-|abstinence]] ==

Two strange senses here. We've got:
# (not being RFD'd): The act or practice of abstaining, refraining from indulging a desire or appetite. (with a bunch of subsenses)
# '''?''' The practice of self-denial; self-restraint; forebearance from anything.
# '''?''' (''obsolete'') Self-denial; abstaining; or forebearance of anything.
These are cited to the Shorter OED, which I don't have, but don't seem to correspond to anything in the full OED, which just distinguishes self-restraint (+ subsenses) and the practice of abstaining ''from'' a specific thing. I don't see what the distinction between our senses is meant to be, nor how the third one could be obsolete. —[[User:Al-Muqanna|Al-Muqanna]] المقنع ([[User talk:Al-Muqanna|talk]]) 23:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

:{{reply|Al-Muqanna}} I agree that senses 2 and 3 seem redundant to sense 1. Perhaps the terms “forbearance”, “self-denial”, etc., can be worked into sense 1. As for the difference between senses 2 and 3, perhaps the editor was trying to distinguish between uncountable and countable senses. The better way to do this is as follows: “(''uncountable'') Abstaining, forbearance, or self-denial; (''countable'') an instance of this.” But if the senses are merged into sense 1 this is unnecessary. — [[User:Sgconlaw|Sgconlaw]] ([[User talk:Sgconlaw|talk]]) 01:55, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

:::You're just repeating Ioxxere's argument without addressing mine. There's nothing that makes {{m|en|pro-Hamas}} any more SOP than {{m|en|proshipper}} or {{m|en|proscience}}. You're treating {{m|en|pro-}} and {{m|en|Hamas}} as separate words, even though {{m|en|pro-}} is a prefix and cannot be used on its own. The ''only'' difference between {{m|en|pro-Hamas}} and a word like {{m|en|profascist}} is the presence of a hyphen, which is a requirement in English grammar because the alternative spelling of {{m|en|proHamas}} would look unusual to native speakers. This interpretation of [[WT:SOP]] effectively forbids all entries for prefixed words derived from capitalized stems. It's also the reason we have so few entries for words prefixed with {{m|en|ex-}}, despite it being one of the most common English prefixes – the prefix is almost always followed by a hyphen, which means that any resulting words are likely to be treated as "compounds" of {{m|en|ex-}} and the base stem.

== [[from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free]] ==

Feels SOP-y to me, being [[from the river to the sea]] plus the rest of the words. It's not a set phrase, either, because there are some uses with "Palestine will be free" at the front. An example of this is in the 2014 essay collection ''Conversations in Postcolonial Thought'', in an essay by Ronit Lentin, in which she writes "This forgetting [of the element of violence that made Israel] ... is precisely what pro-Palestine demonstrators say: '''Palestine will be free from the river to the sea'''." However, I will admit that this element seems like it makes up a large chunk of the uses of "[[from the river to the sea]]".

Looking into the quotes again, I think the cited texts in the entry do not identify Al Jazeera as a TV channel and they require knowledge of the term to understand the intent of the authors, thus satisfying the criteria illustrated at [[Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion/Brand names]].

:Unlike the situation in European languages, I've been told that you can use more or less any combination of characters to form a Chinese given name.

Plus some people have three-syllable names. I don't think this is worth our time.

: Just for background: this was a route in California during the Spanish period connecting the missions in the region. It no longer exists in its old form, but it's symbolic of that period, and roads/highways that cover parts of the same route are often officially designated as part of it to empasize their connection to history. I think it's significant that "El" is capitalized, since it just means "the" in Spanish and it shows that the term isn't understood as the sum of its parts (I wonder if it makes any sense to have a Spanish entry at that capitalization). In fact, the term was probably not used for the modern concept during the mission period (''any'' official route was so designated), but civic [[booster]]s in the past century or so resurrected it as a way to promote tourism by connecting their communities to what they portrayed as a romantic bygone era.

:'''Keep'''. I don't think this is simply a special use of ''because''. In my experience, it's usually said with a pause between "because" and "reasons", with the "reasons" meant to be a humorous replacement for actual reasons that one does not want to elaborate on (or that don't actually exist). So instead of telling my friend I didn't go to the party "Because I didn't feel like it", I might say "Because, reasons...", which is perhaps a way of verbalizing "Because [reasons]". Which is not an SOP phrase and not dependent on the grammar of either word involved.

:: This is true, but IMO if we want a sense to cover things like "''I'' don't use pronouns!", it needs different cites, because IMO the current cites ("my pronouns are she/her" etc) are sense 1. <br/>I'm also unsure about considering "''I'' don't use pronouns!"-type use to make a different sense, because such people also say things like "I don't have a ''gender'', I'm a ''woman''", and (especially a decade or two ago) "I don't have an ''orientation'', I'm ''straight''/''normal''", or think of other people but not themselves as having ''race'', or think they don't have an ''accent'', which seems to me like a grey area between lexical and extralexical. OTOH I concede that we do seem to cover such use of ''accent'' as a separate sense, and there may indeed be enough otherwise-perplexing uses to support a "transgender gender(s)" sense at ''[[gender]]'' (e.g. the surprisingly common phrase [[Citations:gender community|"women and the gender community"]], which otherwise makes piss-all sense), and to support a "nonwhite race(s)" sense at ''[[race]]'' and ''[[racial]]'' (as in ''[[race music]]'', ''[[racial spoils]]''), so meh.

Which for the first quote “a man who can only get excited by women who are real tramps” could mean that you yourself have to be kind of a tramp to accept such a boyfriend, otherwise too unorderly (sense 3) to [[care for]] himself; as with most sexualities the term is then used for the other party too, as by its formation the term implies to contain what one is attracted to.

::: ''Also''. Where we see again that one can employ a word in multiple of its assumed meanings simultaneously. But only by the peripheral understanding of it that [[serial monogamy]] is promiscuity, assuming our definition of ''tramp'' correct.
::: The psychological reality can of course be personality traits of a woman to make her inclined to any described livelihoods but various internalized expectations prevent her. For example if someone is [[borderliner]] (almost 2 % of the general population) they seek attachment to other people fast while simultaneously disengaging up to the point of homelessness due to self-devaluation. Or if someone has [[dependent personality disorder]] (almost 1 %, especially in women) after a breakup they will enter the next nightclub and anyone hooking up will be the boyfriend henceforth—which should sound ridiculous to sound people; people generally have a vague idea of the prevalent determination of life by irrational behaviours. But punning is of course no clear concept yet and thus the creator likely implemented more ideas in his definitions than users of the word could know or imply about psychological or behavorial reality.

Prefix: "Indicates that the following string is a [[newsgroup]]." This is a total misunderstanding. 1. It's not an English prefix but a fragment like ''biz'' or ''www'' in domains. 2. The dot is a separator, so ''alt.suicide.holiday'' is not a prefix ''alt.'' on top of ''suicide.holiday'', but rather the three components ''alt'', ''suicide'', ''holiday'' all separated by dots. 3. It doesn't mean "newsgroup in general" but a specific hierarchy (alternative groups), as opposed to (say) ''comp'' for computing groups and ''rec'' for recreation/hobbies. All of those are newsgroups; ''alt'' is just one subhierarchy of newsgroups; so the etymology is wrong too. [[User:Equinox|Equinox]] [[User_talk:Equinox|◑]] 11:18, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

== <s>[[:&#45;faction#rfd-notice-en-|&#45;faction]]</s> ==

We've had this entry since 2005, but I dispute that it is really an ''English'' suffix. 

Consider the list of derived terms. None of the stems to which ''-faction'' is added are English words:
:{{suffixusex|en|*lique|liquefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
:{{suffixusex|en|*putre|putrefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
:{{suffixusex|en|*tume|tumefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
I suppose you could make an argument that it overrides an ''-id'' suffix:
:{{suffixusex|en|liquid|liquefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
:{{suffixusex|en|putrid|putrefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
:{{suffixusex|en|tumid|tumefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
But the morphological process took place in Latin, not English. 

Also counting in favour of deletion is the fact that [[:Cat:English terms suffixed with -faction]] is empty, meaning that no-one has found it necessary to write {{tl|af|en|...|-faction}} in an etymology. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 00:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

:Yeah, this seems like a relic of the days when we had English entries for this kind of thing just to collect in one place the reflexes of the cases where it was applied in Latin (we used to have ''[[sug-]]'' as an English prefix, ostensibly used in ''suggest''). If there are not instances of it being applied ''in English'', then '''delete'''. [[User:-sche|- -sche]] [[User talk:-sche|(discuss)]] 06:24, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

: You're right in saying it's not a suffix. The ''Oxford Dictionary of English'' calls it a combining form, from {{cog|la|factio}}, in nouns of action derived from verbs ending in ''-fy'' (such as ''liquefaction'' from ''liquefy)''. I think it's '''keepable''' somehow. ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 10:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)''
: So we could add the likes of "equivalent to {{tl|af|en|liquefy|-faction}} to {{m|en|liquefaction}}, to populate the empty category. ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 11:15, 6 February 2024 (UTC)''
: It's worth pointing out the suffixes {{m|en|-ification}}, {{m|en|-fication}}, {{m|en|-ication}}, and {{m|en|-isation}}/{{m|en|-ization}}; all probably derive from {{m|en|-ation}}.  With ''-fy'' verbs {{m|en|electrify}} becomes {{m|en|electrification}} as a noun, so the use of {{m|en|-faction}} is by no means universal for ''-fy'' verbs. ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 11:20, 7 February 2024 (UTC)''
:Having through about this some more, it seems that the ending ''-efy'' consistently gives rise to ''-efaction'' rather than ''*-efication'':
::{{suffixusex|en|liquefy|liquefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
::{{suffixusex|en|putrefy|putrefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
::{{suffixusex|en|tumefy|tumefaction|altsuf=-faction}}
:But my point still stands about this being a grammatical process in Latin, not English. In support of this argument are new formations in ''-efy'':
::{{suffixusex|en|genrefy|*genrefaction|altsuf=-faction}} (rather {{m|en|genrefication}})

The usage seems very close in meaning to the Adverb def:

The adverb usage example would work pretty well:
:: ''He said he would see the crying through''.
:The adverb usage example, as most usage examples, should probably not use the term ''it'' rather than a common noun, ''it'' often being arguably part of an idiom or otherwise changing the usage by virtue of its 'lightness'.

RFD of the sense [[Special:Permalink/78154701|currently]] listed as "(African-American Vernacular, slang) An intensifier added to the end of words ending in <d>, representing a change in pronunciation from /d/ to /t/."

The thrust of my argument is that, based on Taylor Jones' article [https://www.google.com/books/edition/English_in_Computer_Mediated_Communicati/pGTnDQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA61&printsec=frontcover Tweets as Graffiti], {{m|en|-t}} (in my opinion, more properly <-dt>) does not carry any semantic meaning that might qualify it under the "[[Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion#Conveying meaning|conveying meaning]]" clause of our [[WT:CFI|criteria for inclusion]] as, say, {{m|en|-ist}} does. Instead, I would say <-dt> is a reflection of a sociolinguistically marked orthographic norm that would be better recorded on a page akin to [[Appendix:Early Modern English spellings]]. Please [[Talk:-t#African American usage]] for further details of my opinion on the matter as well discussion between me and {{ping|Ioaxxere}}.

If the consensus is to delete, there will be down stream effects on {{m|en|goodt}}, {{m|en|periodt}}, and [[:Category:English terms suffixed with -t (intensifier)]] which either need updating, rewriting, or similar deletion, with exactly which is needed up to people's opinions. &mdash;[[User:The Editor's Apprentice|The Editor's Apprentice]] ([[User talk:The Editor's Apprentice|talk]]) 23:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

:I'm on the fence. The song and other examples suggest that spelling ''good'' (etc) as ''goodt'' ("with a t on the end") has intensifying force, but they are, I suppose, noncommital as to whether ''-t'' is an affix, i.e. as to whether ''goodt'' is the result of ''adding'' a ''-t'' to ''good'', or the result of changing ''d'' to ''dt'' (and the latter, changing ''d'' to ''dt'' to express a pronunciation feature of AAVE, seems like it may well be how this originated). Compare how (despite my own reservations) people decided to delete [[-k-]] as used in ''to traffic''→''trafficked'', viewing it as a change of ''c'' to ''ck'' rather than as the insertion of a ''-k-''. Also compare how "''colour'', with a u in the middle" does not, in my view, imply that [[-u-]] is a Britishizing infix. However, it would not surprise me if the singer or other speakers did think of the ''-t'' as something that was added like an affix (although a layperson might not be familiar with the word affix); it may have outgrown its origins and become an affix. [[User:-sche|- -sche]] [[User talk:-sche|(discuss)]] 16:19, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
:: The "u" in British colour/labour/neighbour is just a spelling variation, though. No one is suggesting that "goodt" or "periodt" is a legitimate and proper spelling variation of the words.

::: The evidence cited by TEA, and what else I can find when I search for the origins of these spellings (albeit that what I find is also another paper by the same scholar, Taylor Jones), is that ''dt'' <!-- --> ''is'' a phonetic and spelling variation. That it is from AAVE and not from a "legitimate and proper" dialect seems immaterial. ''[[lithp]]'' is not a "proper" spelling of ''lisp'', nor ''sitchuation'' nor {{b.g.c.|"zese zings"}}, but does that mean ''[[-th-]]'' is an English infix meaning "''replaces ''s'' to represent a lisp''", ''[[-ch]]'' is "added to indicate yod-coalescence", or ''[[z-]]'' is "indicating a French or German accent"? It would not surprise me if someone could find evidence that ''goodt'', ''Lordt'' etc has gone beyond ''only'' being a pronunciation and spelling variation (indeed, I suspect it could have!), but it's hard to pin down. (E.g., both the ''goodt'' song by Saweetie and Doja Cat and e.g. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgkDmtOSJFA Ocean x KungFu - Oh ''Lordt''] c. 1:25 seem to use an AAVE pronunciation of the relevant word, so it's easy to view them as just using the corresponding AAVE spelling of that pronunciation.)

:::I think there's scope for listing multiple polities when they are connected but in a discontinuous way, or we risk confusing readers (e.g. {{m|en|Gwynedd}} refers to a historical Welsh kingdom and a modern county in Wales, both being roughly in the same location, but neither is a helpful definition if you're reading something that's talking about the other one).

''[[Australia]]'' also lumps together the most common 'an island' and 'a country' senses (it only has a separate geographic sense for the plate-tectonic sense, 'the island of Australia, plus New Guinea'), whereas ''[[Philippines]]'' splits the archipelago vs the country (and also has a dependency sense I'm going to add to this RFD).

I second this motion. Sparing a niche historical setting as described, the first definition seems to already encapsulate this second one, since the former describes the unified Korea nation-state prior to its division in 1948, and so it appears to render the latter redundant; this is without diving into the not-so subtle nuances of racism propagated by Imperial Japanese fascism at the time.

:Such an item could be worded in various ways, so I created "box ears", those being the key words (and you can check the Wkt index to see that the entry does work). Note that [[blow mind]] and [[lose temper]] are not perfect analogies, because it is hard to provide examples of ''natural use of them as terms'', whereas a construction such as: ''"If this happens again I'll have to come down and box ears till they begin to listen!"'' is perfectly natural.

We rather need to fill the link for [[language acquisition]]; note that, I think, ''[[language acquisition]]'' tends to mean native language amongst children, too, whereas ''language learning'' is the more systematic stuff one does when already possessing a language from upbringing and hence tackles one of an othered (sic!) language community.

* "language learning" does seem to be much more common than other comparable phrases, e.g. "math/maths/mathematics learning", "speech learning", etc. Is this just because it is a more written-about topic, or does it point to any special quality of the phrase?

Count me as an ''abstain'' rather than a ''delete'' here, but I think enough people might think this should be deleted that I'm bringing it up for discussion. [[User:-sche|- -sche]] [[User talk:-sche|(discuss)]] 22:17, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
: For now '''keep''' because we have [[Rosetta Stone]]. Names of such notable historical / archeological things can be exempted, unless we explicitly decide not to do so. [[User:Inqilābī|Inqilābī]] 23:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
::Isn't the Gettysburg Address, which almost everyone agreed should be deleted, also a notable historical thing? Or is there a difference between physical things and abstract things? [[User:Mihia|Mihia]] ([[User talk:Mihia|talk]]) 23:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
::: In principle you are right, but the name of a book, newspaper, or speech seems (to me) more encyclopedic than that of a monument ([[Taj Mahal]]), painting ([[Mona Lisa]]), or a stone inscription (as the one discussed here). We need to have more talks to determine if we want to allow the latter ones. [[User:Inqilābī|Inqilābī]] 00:02, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
:::: I meant to mention also that [[Rosetta Stone]] is different because it also has the figurative sense. We would want to keep that whatever. I don't really understand on what basis we have [[Taj Mahal]] and [[Mona Lisa]], however. Why not any building or any painting? Or do we just allow certain ones because they are very famous and well known? Seems a bit dubious or subjective as to what is deemed "famous enough". [[User:Mihia|Mihia]] ([[User talk:Mihia|talk]]) 08:40, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
:::::Hmm, I think I’d vote keep for Taj Mahal but weak delete for Mona Lisa— my rationale being, renowned landmarks ([[Angkor Wat]], [[Great Wall of China]], [[Taj Mahal]] etc. etc.) are rather analogous to toponyms and suchlike geographical forms (as Fay Freak said beneath); personal artwork in all likelihood don’t merit lexicographical coverage, much like speeches. Your concern about subjectivity is a good point however- I guess we can retain or delete contested landmark entries on a case-by-case basis… [[User:Inqilābī|Inqilābī]] 14:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
: Speeches like the Gettysburg Address are not the same thing as an erected landmark, e.g. more ephemeral materially, while these buildings are regarded by our toponym votes, and cornerstones (hah!) to weltanschauungen, religions, arts and sciences, and hence linguistic idioms humans develop and espouse. We also create all {{w|holiest sites in Shia Islam}}, which are of interest due to their treatment in diverse languages, don’t we? '''Keep''', [[User:Fay Freak|Fay Freak]] ([[User talk:Fay Freak|talk]]) 10:14, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
:: CFI says "Most manmade structures, including buildings [etc. etc.] may only be attested through figurative use". That would seem to include, or rather exclude, Taj Mahal. Not sure whether Einang stone counts as a "structure". It might do, or it could be seen as an artefact. [[User:Mihia|Mihia]] ([[User talk:Mihia|talk]]) 16:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
::: We cannot create the local pub, but beyond that the policy decision appears undecided in what the actual criteria area, hence it describes a kind of probability (“most manmade”). Whether man or nature more have shaped a feature only addresses gameability, that’s again why we don’t create [[digs]].
::: Bodies of water in densely settled and developed countries are in about half of cases manmade, channels and reservoirs, delimited by manmade dams; I highly doubt that we can create rivers but not canals, the more so that we can create reservoirs ({{m|de|Stausee|Stauseen}}) as opposed to canals since they are not in the mostly-not-included list. That part of the CFI was written from the perspective of a more [[aquatic ape theory|aquatic ape]] living near a natural lake or river, isn’t it, rather than in a settlement with [[w:de:Obersee (Bielefeld)|a reservoir]] or canal as the largest body of water.
::: I clock that a major question we answer ourselves is the value as a touristic attraction ({{w|Wikivoyage}} yay, Wikipedia nay), or scientific or artistic, and on the other hand the conspicuousness of a term or its translations as an idiomatic factor, perhaps more concretely whether you should look anywhere else than Wiktionary to resolve your place-names in any language; for both reasons [[Angkor Wat]] is a good thing to have, while only due to the latter it can hardly be argued away that we should have {{m|de|Tüte|die Tüte}}, as boring as a tram station entry but without which local press and police reports are imperfectly understood.
::: Only recently I have been definitely informed that the construction of what is [[Special:Diff/79591842/80145847|figurative or literal]] differs by attention focus, so we all are [[Wiktionary:Beer parlour/2024/June#Anti-intensifiers and the epidemic of British meiosis|a bit]] at loss here. By their very natures, the specific designations of buildings, if they have any at all rather than being mere numbers on a street, then tend to be tongue-in-cheek, hence figures of speech. Case in point, ''{{m|de|Tüte|die Tüte}}'' puns upon the form of the described entrance area, figuratively using the container name: only figurative use exists here, no literal one. Or did you know that {{m|de|Gazastreifen|lit=Gaza Strip}} is a street in Berlin? Does it make a difference whether the name is informal or official? Then again boozing-kens which we should not create use to have fancy names that come out figurative, not even always clear whether the trader or his customers originally invented the name of the house, the further you go back in history.

* It seems similar to other [[:Category:English terms with placeholder "it"]], like [[knock it off]]. These are (I assume) considered idiomatic because "it" doesn't have to have a referent. That's the same with [[get into it]]. You can say something like "I should be doing my taxes but don't want to get into it" or "we have a lot to talk about, but let's not get into it right now", for example.

** '''Keep''' in case that wasn't obvious. [[User:Mazzlebury|Mazzlebury]] ([[User talk:Mazzlebury|talk]])
* [Edit conflict with Mazzlebury] Is this believed to be the same as sense #10 of ''[[get into]]'', "To argue about (something)"? While I readily understand the example there, "Oh let's not get into that again", I wouldn't understand specifically that the "get into it" example, "We're finally going to get into it about the policy", means to fight or argue. This, and the fact that the "get into it" example is labelled "US" (I am from the UK), seems to suggest some point of difference. Perhaps the "it" without referent makes a separately idiomatic phrase. [[User:Mihia|Mihia]] ([[User talk:Mihia|talk]]) 19:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

== [[Smarandache function]] ==

Requested for deletion for self-promotion. Smarandache is an infamous crank in the mathematical community and there are many other instances of him self-promoting, e.g. on Wikipedia.

If you need further details, see the Talk page of the corresponding wikipedia article "Kempner function"; although "Smarandache function" is a redirect link to it, there clearly should not be a Wiktionary page for the term Smarandache function. [[User:Vstephen B|Vstephen B]] ([[User talk:Vstephen B|talk]]) 22:41, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

:I would like to point out that the page was made by Equinox, and not a member of Smarandache's crew, as far as I know. I don't think that RFD is appropriate here, given the circumstances. Maybe RFV, to see if people are using the term. (Side note, when I go into Google Books, I see some results. Not sure if every result is just Smarandache, or if it has been rarely used.) [[User:CitationsFreak|CitationsFreak]] ([[User talk:CitationsFreak|talk]]) 05:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

* Looking on Google Scholar, this has been used in the "Smarandache notions journal"(!!) and in some books by people who appear to be at least close acquaintances of Smarandache (with forewords acclaiming him for being not just a brilliant mathematician but also father of a field of literature, for instance). My suspicion is that this would fail RFV on a close reading (I doubt anyone who writes about Smarandache is truly independent of him) but it would take deep searching to verify and it wouldn't surprise me if three maths students writing doctoral theses stumbled across and cited him.

:'''Hard redirect'''.

== [[:leaf lard#rfd-notice-en-|leaf lard]] ==

Do we need another def that explains what leaf lard needs to have legally? All of sense 2 is included in sense 1, along with an assortment of less-than-apptizing leaf lards. [[User:CitationsFreak|CitationsFreak]] ([[User talk:CitationsFreak|talk]]) 04:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
* '''Delete''': I don’t think so. — [[User:Sgconlaw|Sgconlaw]] ([[User talk:Sgconlaw|talk]]) 05:07, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

:'''Delete''' that sense. FYI this is another case where [[User:Surjection]]'s proposal of having the ability to link a headword to a particular sense (of "leaf") would come in handy. [[User:Benwing2|Benwing2]] ([[User talk:Benwing2|talk]]) 05:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

:'''Delete''' sense 2, folding any broadly pan-jurisdictionally applicable elements of it into sense 1. This is an example of what the sense of ''[[#capital murder]]'' discussed above was illustrating (and [https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=first-degree_murder&oldid=19340875 the many senses of ''first-degree murder''], etc). This was discussed a lot about ten years ago; there are probably other vestiges which need to be sought out and RFDed or folded in to the general senses. (The vote was never run, but see the discussions linked [[Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2013-03/Standards_of_identity_and_legal_definitions_of_terms|on this 2013 page]].) [[User:-sche|- -sche]] [[User talk:-sche|(discuss)]] 19:19, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' Sense 2 is not a lexical definition. If someone has some lard made from the leaf fat of a swine but it's contaminated with a foreign odour, they can't legally sell it as leaf lard, but I cannot imagine anyone - even an inspector - actually saying "That's not leaf lard"; they'd just say "That leaf lard doesn't meet the legal standards" or "That leaf lard smells funny". [[User:Smurrayinchester|Smurrayinchester]] ([[User talk:Smurrayinchester|talk]]) 07:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
** Whether an inspector would ''say'' that or not, the standards of identity establish a legal meaning of the phrase, such that ''calling it'' leaf lard as the seller of the product is in fact illegal. I would grant that there are identifiers for which this is less likely to be relevant, but if something is described as, e.g., "low fat" and it does not meet this standard, trouble will follow. [[User:BD2412|<i style="background:lightgreen">bd2412</i>]] [[User talk:BD2412|'''T''']] 21:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
**:I would say that those would go under a usage note, but I generally don't think it matters. (If there's evidence of a certain term being used because the standard of intensity doesn't apply, I'd say add it. An example of that would be "partially gelatinated nondairy gum-based beverages" being used over "shakes" in certain contexts due to them not officially meeting the legal requirement for them.) [[User:CitationsFreak|CitationsFreak]] ([[User talk:CitationsFreak|talk]]) 08:33, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
*** I admit it's a grey area; I agree there can be cases where a legal definition is different enough from the lay definition to be lexical, analogous to chemists having a broad definition of ''alcohol'' that includes things like cholesterol that would not be ''alcohol'' in a lay context. OTOH... if I go to Russia and call the war in Ukraine a ''war'' or ''война'', ''calling it'' that is illegal and trouble will follow! and yet I hope no-one thinks we need a new definition for ''война'' (and ''war'', to the extent I'd also be prosecuted for saying it in English to reach an international audience), "large-scale armed conflict not including <s>foreign odours</s> the latest one in Ukraine". To me, the fact that people still use ''война'' and ''war'' the usual way (with or without repercussions), and the fact that people use ''leaf lard'' the 'usual' way (and would say ''that leaf lard is contaminated - you can't sell it''), makes me conclude that speakers don't perceive the law as creating a new meaning of ''leaf lard'' (we/I don't think leaf lard that doesn't meet the regulations has ceased to be within the scope of the word ''leaf lard'', just that it's unsellable), but instead [correctly, IMO] perceive the laws as just regulating the purity or safety of the thing and how it can be marketed.

===[[:-ximab#rfd-notice-en-|-ximab]]===
===[[:-zumab#rfd-notice-en-|-zumab]]===
Monoclonal antibodies are assigned names according to a [[w:Nomenclature of monoclonal antibodies|complicated WHO naming sytem]]. The usual nomenclature is the following: [1] a variable prefix; [2] an infix referring to the medicine's target (target substem"); [3] an infix referring to the source of the antibody ("source substem"; omitted in antibodies named after 2017); [4] a suffix ("stem" = {{m|en|-mab}} for every antibody named before 2022). (E.g. {{m|en|abciximab}}: {{af|en||alt1=ab-|-ci-<t:cardiovascular>|-xi-<t:chimeric>|-mab<t:antibody>|nocat=y}}.) {{m|en|-zumab}}, {{m|en|-ximab}} and {{m|en|-umab}} were created by JoeyChen in 2020 after removing the entries for the standalone {{m|en|-zu-}}, {{m|en|-xi-}} and {{m|en|-u-}} (I haven't found a relevant discussion prior to the changes). However, these are merely three of the frequently co-occurring combinations of [3] and [4], and semantically are not more closely related to each other than e.g. [2] and [4]. Guidelines also treat source substems and stems as different entities. I find the treatment of these combinations as genuine suffixes misleading, therefore, I think they should be deleted (along with their categories) and removed from the etymology sections of antibody entries, while {{m|en|-zu-}}, {{m|en|-xi-}} and {{m|en|-u-}} should be reinstated as infixes.

Our definitions need to be updated as many, if not the vast majority, schools in the U.S. consider kindergarten to be the first grade in elementary/grade school (mine in Texas sure did).

:::@[[User:Theknightwho|Theknightwho]]: The following rationale may be more encyclopedic in nature, but I think it's useful for when someone sees "first grade" in running text wants to look it up. They'd be able to find it here, see what it refers to, and how it's a NAm + PH-specific term. I see how it might be redundant especially with the ''year X'' examples, but I find them useful. It's helpful to know, more so for learners, that ex: the equivalent of French [https://fr.wiktionary.com/wiki/CE1 CE1] is actually {{m|en|second grade}} in the US, {{m|en|year 3}} in the UK, or {{m|en|year 2}} in Australia.

* '''Keep all'''. But ... 
Improve the definitions.  Two being between one and three isn't helping anyone. The def given for "first grade" is much better and that should be copied on to the others. (for the US entries)

... Make it more international, as there are only US examples so far. 

In my (1960s) Australian schooling, we had a very simple "first grade", or more commonly but interchangeable, "grade one" for the first year, "second grade" for the second year etc, right up to twelve.
But other terms where used, such as Junior or Senior for the 9th and 10th, and 11th and 12th years respectively.
A generation before there was "Scholarship", for eighth grade.

I lived in Ireland for a while, and "first grade" is not the first year of school.  It's about third after kindy and prep type years. I think it's changed since my kids were at school.  And "junior cert" and "leaving cert" made an appearance there somewhere. 

As mentioned by others, there are variations around the world.

: I just added an idiomatic sense to [[thirteenth grade]]. As someone who graduated from high school in the 12th grade and also has degrees from both a community college and a university, I can attest that people often jokingly referred to college (especially community college) as the thirteenth grade. [[User:Chuck Entz|Chuck Entz]] ([[User talk:Chuck Entz|talk]]) 03:42, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

: I find it weird that people feel so strongly about it, since the grades exclusively depend on the local legal framework and are thus the sum of an existing authority examining you plus regulatory decisions, rather than based on idioms of the people, like in Germany many states introduced 8-th-year [[gymnasium]] and [[w:Abitur after twelve years|then]] reverted to 9 years after 4 years of elementary school so we have thirteen grades again ''in most schools''.
: Even Chuck Entz’s idiomatic sense could be put off as pragmatics. We also have jokes amongst jurists about various kinds of things being a {{m|de|[[dritter|drittes]] [[Staatsexamen]]|t=third [[state examination]]}}: for attorneys-at-law in areas where you can be [[notary public]] in parallel it is the {{m|de|notarielle Fachprüfung}} needed to be appointed one [[on the side]] in these lands of Germany (as opposed to those regions where you get appointed for a prepatory service to then have it as your exclusive profession) and for judges (which you can become immediately after your second state examination just like you become an attorney) it is a [[secondment]] to the upper court for the purpose of a promotion. Pharmacists and physicians on the other hand, clueless as they are, just call the third part of their single state examination ({{m|de||dritter Abschnitt der pharmazeutischen Prüfung}}, {{m|de||dritter Abschnitt der ärztlichen Prüfung}}) {{m|de|[[dritter|drittes]] [[Staatsexamen]]}}, ''technically'' erroneously. Should we even add {{m|de|pharmazeutische Prüfung}} and {{m|de|ärztliche Prüfung}} though, given that it is clear that, in developed countries, you can’t become an [[apothecary]] or practising physician without prior examination? Perhaps I ultimately should create the term {{m|de|drittes Staatsexamen}}, which is either a joke or a misnomer in all interpretatory contexts: Wikipedias can create these in either case and then get copied while we are charged with leaving coverage gaps.
: But the argument of AG202 is valid, that it is reasonably looked up and described, since there is no immediate danger of proliferation of SOP entries on this model, given that humans grow up in definite numbers of years. Even though (for Purplebackpack89: even more so because) there is a historical depth behind these grade names that could make entries convoluted: these grades have been unified across states but five or six decades ago, after being called [[Sexta]] for being the then fifth grade up to [[Oberprima]] for then 13th grade because they counted from the end; they say, [[w:de:Gymnasium#Gliederung_und_Jahrgangsstufen|on German Wikipedia]], that in one canton of Switzerland they still did this in the 2010s.

== [[Victoria#rfd-redundant-notice-en-|Victoria]] ==

Hello, I am writing to contest the inclusion of Sense 3 of the aforementioned entry.

My objection to the definition in question is a perceived redundancy. Namely, when someone refers to [[Wikipedia:Queen Victoria|Queen Victoria]], they are referring to a specific use of the given female name Victoria (i.e. Sense 2 of the entry). Would it not be easier to remove Sense 3 and put the corresponding quotation as another example of Sense 2 in context?

See also [https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Information_desk/2024/September&oldid=81629853#Referents_to_specific_royals_as_name_definitions this inquiry on referents to specific British royals as name definitions] I raised at [[WT:ID]]. While I personally <strike>am</strike> <u>was</u> fine with these definitions appearing on Victoria, [[Alexandra]], [[Elizabeth]], [[Diana]], [[William]], et al., differing opinions were expressed at that venue.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

* I would agree with merger with Sense 2. The nominator tried to delete the translations of Queen Victoria, but that was reverted. But it is difficult to ignore the impact of her, her reign was during the expansion of the British Empire, and many geographical features around the world were named after her. It would be difficult to erase her completely from Wiktionary, as she features in etymologies for various places. Many places in the US are named after George Washington, so we can't ignore him either. ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 15:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)''

::I say this, also, on the basis that the current arguments in favor of [[Minecraft]]’s proper noun sense all appear to base themselves on there being figurative ''derivations'' of the term, such as a verb form and the construction [[in Minecraft]].

* I see it is a proper noun.. as such, can it really be SoP? Either way, this looks to be part of [[Wiktionary:Names of organizations|our unresolved "problem" regarding the inclusion of the names of organisations and organisational entities and bodies]] on Wiktionary. But, out of general curiosity, what do you make of our entries for [[Anglican Church]], [[Armenian Apostolic Church]], [[Chaldean Catholic Church]], [[Latin Church]], [[LDS Church]] and [[Mormon Church]]? Additionally, {{ping|Inqilābī}}, Wikt also has entries for each of the other Orthodox Churches (if you wish to bundle them to this RfD as well, at your discretion): {{small|[[Albanian Orthodox Church]], [[Alexandrian Orthodox Church]], [[Antiochian Orthodox Church]], [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church]], [[Eastern Orthodox Church]], [[Georgian Orthodox Church]], [[Greek Orthodox Church]], [[Jerusalemite Orthodox Church]], [[Oriental Orthodox Church]], [[Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia]], [[Polish Orthodox Church]], [[Romanian Orthodox Church]], [[Russian Orthodox Church]], [[Serbian Orthodox Church]] and [[Syriac Orthodox Church]]}}. Interestingly, a great deal of these were added by IPs. Either way, I am going to say '''delete''' based on the arguments presented at [[Talk:National Hockey League]], such as Facts707's "Definitely Wikipedia material", the fact that this does not, for me, satisfy [[WT:THUB|THUB]], and based on our ''de facto'' practice of linking abbreviations and alternative names to their respective Wikipedia articles, hence insinuating (albeit not formally) that such elongated organisational names are not worthy of entries in a dictionary.

:: {{re|LunaEatsTuna}} ‘SoP’ was a thinko on my end, I was going to state the rationale as ‘encyclopedic material’- but then the term is also a SoP of [[Constantinopolitan]] + [[Orthodox Church]] nonetheless. It did occur to me that several similar terms would exist but I was too lazy to track them; and also thought we may as well discuss church organizations one by one, cause we may have never nominated these lemmas for deletion before. I have to thank you, though, for having hunted down a list of them all! I honestly wanted to just see how other editors would react to the nomination of this particular term, Constantinopolitan Orthodox Church. Speaking of other lemmas you listed: [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] in particular is rather a very basic term, being literally one of the major branches of Christianity, and thus comparable to the likes of [[Sunni Islam]], etc. I think all of the other Orthodox Church branches in your list can be deleted. Most of the other churches you mentioned farther above can also be deleted, except perhaps [[Anglican Church]], which seems broader and more generalized in scope, even though it is arguably still SoP seeing as {{m|en|Anglican}} covers the relevant sense. Thank you for the discussion; depending on the progress of this nomination I will decide if I will nominate the other terms for deletion or not.

Maybe the Beer Parlour is a better place for that. But for now I will just say one thing ... if we do keep these words and also agree to set a precedent, I hope we can all come to an informal agreement not to abuse the policy by creating hundreds of frivolous words that just barely pass CFI and would do no good in educating the reader. For example, someone writing about gnomes can add a ''g-'' to any word beginning with N, and since there are a lot of stories about gnomes, it won't be too hard to find three independent examples of some of these words. I think words like these are of a lower quality than words like [[pawsitive]] which result from the happenstance collision of two unrelated words.  There's more to it than that, but I can't right now put into words what makes me admire the "good" words and not the "bad" ones.

:Hmm. If the only attested definition were this one, I would say "keep", like ''udderly'' (as noted above) and e.g. [[Winterpeg]] ("Winnipeg, in reference to its harsh winters"), but I see there's a second definition, pertaining to hopping, so I do see the argument that uses of "hoppily" in e.g. "hoppily ever after" are just using the hop-related word in order to pun. I'm trying to think of comparable cases. <br/>If some politician were named Jonson (spelled sic) and had many affairs and someone said he was "thinking with his Jonson", would that make Jonson a word meaning "Johnson, penis"? (Probably yes?) OTOH, if e.g. a wastewater treatment facility released an end-of-year report saying they were "flush" with success (treating wastewater better than average) and reminding people that they "pooh-poohed" flushing menstrual pads down the toilet, etc, ''that'' would indeed just punny without creating new senses of the words.

::I see the logic here, but there are over 85,000 streets in London alone, and most of these may very well satisfy the rest of the CFI criteria. And, due to the city's age, I reckon at least over ten thousand of these streets have some sort of historical interest etymologically speaking; the street near my house in outer London, was built recently, c.1922–1923, and was named after a brook that flowed next to it that no longer exists, making the name nonsensical and a complete mystery to most (and it does satisfy the rest of the CFI due to independent usage). Regardless, I feel there would be no easy way to distinguish between a 'notable' or 'historical' street and a 'non-notable' one; even so, I do not think Wiktionary should have a notability policy like Wikipedia does, since we like to generally be more relaxed in regards to entries. But Wiktionary already has an abundance of (perhaps too many) entries for ghost towns and small unincorporated communities, also allowing street names would be a step too far IMO and greenlight the possibility of over tens of thousands of new entries on streets around the world.

== [[even if#rfd-sense-notice-en-|even if]] ==

RFD-sense, in an unconventional sense (perhaps a more appropriate forum can be found). Rather than deletion, this discussion concerns the repurposing of sense #1 as an {{tl|&lit}}. Sense #2 is also better repurposed as a {{tl|synonym of}}. These two operations are easy to justify and perform; what leads me to bring this to discussion is the translation table, a mess which contains what I suspect is a mix of translations of the unidiomatic sense of the expression and the idiomatic ‘even though’ sense; language-wise, the translations on [[even if]] and [[even though]] do not overlap well, and importing adequate transitions to the latter will require expert attention. ―⁠[[User:Ktom|K<sub>(ə)</sub>tom]] ([[User talk:Ktom|talk]]) 21:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

:IMO it is clearly SOP, so if retained it should be as an {{tl|&lit}} because of sense #2 or as a translation hub. The translations that I am competent to check are also SOP, though; even the Greek translation. (Although we write at {{m|el|ακόμα και αν|tr=-}}, ‘(''literally:'' "even and if")’, a better literal translation is “even also if”, which is also used in English. The combination [[:el:ακόμη και|ακόμα και]], meaning basically the same as the English adverb “even”, is also used standalone, and although {{m|el||ακόμα και αν}} is far more common, just {{m|el||ακόμα αν}} is also used.) &nbsp;--[[User:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 09:26, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

:Regarding sense 2, "even though" -- "if" can mean "though" generally, as in e.g. "She is polite, if a little cold".

* '''Delete both''' (proudly using a bullet point for consistency unlike ''someone'' above me) – okay, so, I was really divided on this but here is my rationale: this is [[WT:SOP|SOP]] because there is no idiomatic meaning beyond "Spanish colonial period", i.e. "the colonial period of Spain [the coloniser]". Instead of being, say, a word, it is rather a more straightforward descriptive phrase that consists of three components that, when put together, are (often) immediately clear to most readers without requiring specialised context per se. This is different from other time periods, i.e. the [[Migration Period]], [[Era of Great Power]], [[Progressive Era]] or [[early modern]]; the meanings of each of these cannot be ascertained simply from their words themselves. This would be like having an entry for "[[Obama era]]" [https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/01/10/how-america-changed-during-barack-obamas-presidency/] or "[[Boris Johnson period]]"; [https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/next-cabinet-secretary] descriptive and sentence-like rather than idiomatic.

:Not sure if this will be brought up but I did consider this hypothetical point: "Spanish colonial period", in the context of the Philippines, refers to a specific fixed date range, that is 1565 to 1898. Does this disqualify it from being SOP? It does not: following the same rationale, Kenya, for example, can have a British colonial period (1920–1963), Tanzania has its own British colonial period (1919-1961), and so does Uganda (1894-1962) and several other colonies. This is another marker of what makes this entry SOP, as is the fact that there is a French colonial period, German colonial period, Russian colonial period etc. for a lot of countries around the world.

:::I think the fact that each region’s colonial period may span a different time period doesn’t mean such terms are not SoP.

*'''Keep''', because the fact that the period usually so described in each instance is not immediately apparent seems to show that they are ''not'' sum-of-parts; the phrase has a specific meaning that cannot be intuited from the words that make it up.  I don't know that "American colonial period" is commonly used to described the post-Spanish-American War period, but if that's the case, that would also need a definition—and the fact that readers may not realize that such phrases may have ''more than one'' application also argues for keeping them.  I would distinguish "modern era" because it does not refer to a particular place, and has no meaning on its own besides that which can be intuited from its parts; "colonial period" by itself seems more worthy of inclusion because it's not necessarily apparent whether it refers to the period of time during which a place was colonized, or the period in which one entity colonized others (presumably both would be correct, which is an argument that it needs to be defined to say so; a writer might want to make sure that the phrase can be applied to one, the other, or both).  But where historians regularly define "colonial period" with a geographic modifier, that period certainly needs a definition.  Whether such use of "modern era" leads to standard or at least common definitions would need to be determined separately.

While the first example can easily be a synonym for the second example, this does not work the other way around – "we have company" does not quite carry such connotations. Also, I have no idea why it is listed as a pronoun, and my professional cryptographer charged me extra for the first sense, so I was not able to afford to have it translated and thus am not sure what it means.

And while many dictionaries do have entries for events such as the redlinked ones above, which ones might benefit from entries might best be decided by historians—the first three perhaps, the last two maybe not—and there's another factor: the proper names of wars or battles make it transparent what they refer to, so that someone might think to look them up in an encyclopedia.

In other words: People read “notions” into the terms that aren’t there, which is so easy to fall for that governments are toppled by it and their heads of states decided, by pure paralogism.

Rfd-sense: Adverb: {{lb|en|slang|sex}} Without a [[condom]]. Usages generally look adjectival. "did it unprotected", "go unprotected" seem to work similarly. [[User:Svartava2|Svartava2]] ([[User talk:Svartava2|talk]]) 09:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

:In the two examples already in the entry (one usage example, one quotation) I believe it's an adverb modifying whichever verb or verb phrase is used for sex, rather than an adjective describing sex as a noun: "we ''did'' it ''raw''", not "we did ''it raw''", "I'm about to ''go raw''".  If you substitute other words, it seems more clearly adverbial: "we ''did'' it ''quickly''", "we ''did'' it ''safely''", "I'm going to ''go directly''".  If you're describing the sex (noun), rather than the action of having sex (verb), making ''raw'' an adjective, then you'd phrase it differently: "we had ''raw sex''", "we had ''great sex''".  I could ''almost'' see "raw" in "go raw" as a complement describing the noun subject rather than the verb, but I still think it describes the ''manner of going'', making it an adverb.  I think this could go to RfV if additional examples are needed, but I don't think this sense would be challenged (though I do wonder if the phrase isn't too new or trendy to have a lot of printed examples).

:Native Americans, not just in Canada but also the US, commonly use this term in roughly this sense, but I suspect we can indeed just fold this into sense 1: maybe, taking a cue from Dictionary.com, we could tweak "community" to "tribe or community", and perhaps also tweak "leader" to something like "leader or respected member" to highlight that there can sometimes be quite a few elders in a community, whereas "leader of a community" might often be read as suggesting the singular 'top' official.

Where do we put these if sense 1 is deleted? It's misleading to imply that they derive from sense 2 (which would be the only sense remaining in the entry), but at the same time we would be doing our readers a disservice to selectively remove them from the list. The issue is circumvented if we keep the company name sense. Moreover, if the company name and the search engine were different, but the company name had still given rise to such a varied palette of derived terms, I would unhesitatingly vote to keep the company entry.

:* I totally agree with you on the small place names one! Wiktionary be crazy sometimes.

The majority of dictionaries do not list businesses; they are more fit for an encyclopaedia or company registration index. Also, popularity should not be a factor for word inclusion: Wiktionary has no notability policy (unlike Wikipedia) beyond our three cites requirement at CFI. This  means that if we allow businesses/corporations in general as entries we would allow all companies that have at least three attests to have entries, which would probably number into the tens of thousands.

And "tens of thousands" doesn't seem to be a problem for place names. Personally, I think if we are to allow ANY, then we should allow ALL proper names of sufficient notability, with enough safeguards to prevent floods of trivia and items of extreme limited or localised interest.

:'''Delete''' in the absence of anything that makes this company name of special lexicographic interest, namely derived terms. I would vote to keep those few company names for which a range of common nouns, adjectives etc exist that are derived from the company name - a kind of "derived terms hub" criterion, if you will. {{m|en|Microsoft}} is a great example of this. However, ''Apple'' doesn't fit the bill - there is only one derived term.

== [[groomer#rfd-sense-notice-en-|groomer]] ==

Rfd-sense {{tq|(alt-right, derogatory, offensive, anti-LGBTQ slur) An individual, particularly an LGBT person or drag queen, framed as a predator or threat to children; in particular, someone who makes children aware of LGBT people or drag, from the perspective of those who consider this to be sexual. [from 2020s]}}.

I've read the [[Talk:groomer#RFV_discussion:_December_2022–February_2023|RFV discussion]] and find myself agreeing completely with [[User:-sche|-sche]]'s position. What I also want to say about this RFV is that I strongly disagree with discussing the inclusion of words on the basis of whose hand we (as a dictionary) are playing into by including / not including them. We should only be concerned with lexicography. Even if this was a concern, we still have the usage note.

In [[Talk:специальная военная операция]], [[User:Lambiam|Lambiam]] said: {{tq|The meaning of an utterance is what the speaker intends it to mean to their audience, also when they are lying.}} I fully agree with this and I actually think we need to write something to this effect into {{section link|Wiktionary:Criteria_for_inclusion#Conveying_meaning}}. (Tangentially related: [[Talk:shocked Pikachu]] and [[Talk:zuordnen]].)

When I read through the citations, it is very clear to me that the speakers in these quotes intend to convey sense 5: {{tq|One who attempts to gain the trust of a minor in order to exploit them, especially sexually.}} This is the allegation they're trying to make by referring to LGBT people or drag queens as groomers. They're not merely trying to allege that LGBT people or drag queens are {{tq|someone who makes children aware of LGBT people or drag}}.

Also, the first part of the definition is currently written like "Individual, particularly X, framed as a groomer (sense 5)." Apart from the "particularly X" part, this is completely vacuous and, by the same logic, such senses could be added to basically any word that has been used as part of insults or allegations. The only non-vacuous part "particularly an LGBT person or drag queen" is valid but belongs to the usage notes and should describe sense 5 (what they're actually alleging). &mdash; [[User:Fytcha|Fytcha]]〈[[User talk:Fytcha| T ]]|[[Special:Log/Fytcha| L ]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fytcha| C ]]〉 21:13, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

:In the RFV discussion, the conviction of those arguing that this ''is'' lexical persuaded me to abstain, and I abstain here ''for now'' and wait to hear what other people think, but I will say as I said at RFV: to me, the clearest sign that people are ''not'' lexically using "groomer" to ''mean'' "LGBT/friendly person" (but are just using it in the usual sense, as Fytcha says) is that it's not limited to that or any other particular word. They also say that a picture of a gay couple of ''sexual'' but a picture of a straight couple isn't; they say trans people are ''pornography''; they say providing healthcare to 21-year-olds is ''child abuse''... as I said in the 2021 discussion about whether [[Wiktionary:Tea_room/2021/December#"fake_news"|Trump referring to real information as "fake news" meant that "fake news" should be defined as "real information"]], {{tq|sometimes people use words to be dishonest or otherwise wrong, and that doesn't normally change the dictionary definitions of the words}}.

: '''Delete''' per nom. No usage note is necessary yet IMO; for instance, when humans call something ''fake'' they genuinely believe it to be fake; some unintelligent individuals actually seem to think that all transgenders are groomers (?!) and are thus referencing sense 5 as Fytcha points out. Also, {{ping|-sche}}: Unless I am missing some context, I feel like adding a usage note for this entry would sorta be like adding a usage note to our entries for {{m|en|bad}}, {{m|en|false}} or {{m|en|inaccurate}} and saying something like “sometimes people call something false when it is actually true”. The {{m|en|globalist}} note is okay IMO because it is very different from the wording of the hypothetical examples I just gave. But, I do not think we need to add a “sometimes used with anti-LGBTQ+ connotations” usage note either just yet ''unless'' that particular sense of the entry completely trumps the original meaning, like {{m|en|fake news}} which was undeniably popularised by Trump in 2016 and is very clearly associated with him. ''Groomer'' (sense 5) is indeed a very common word though so IDK if that would happen. [[User:LunaEatsTuna|LunaEatsTuna]] ([[User talk:LunaEatsTuna|talk]]) 00:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

:'''Weak keep'''. Although this meaning of [[buffer]] is covered at Etymology 2 senses 1.3 + 1.7, I wonder if it’s immediately clear from reading the compound that the buffer comes pre-printer, not post-printer? I don’t think this nuance can be easily explained syntactically, because I can imagine the syntactically identical ''outflow buffer'' and ''inflow buffer''. [[User:Polomo47|Polomo47]] ([[User talk:Polomo47|talk]]) 06:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
:It sounds like this term refers specifically to a physical device - a standalone box that would sit there and do the buffering - as opposed to a simple memory buffer belonging to the computer (or printer). I'm not even quite sure that sense 1.3 at ''buffer'' captures this (it only says "storage medium"). Perhaps sense 1.3 and/or 1.7 need expanding, and they should almost certainly be moved together in the entry.

:'''Strong keep'''. Our definition is rather mediocre, otherwise this would pass [[WT:FRIED]] by default.

Ex: "In Australia, ordering an iced coffee will get you an iced latte with ice cream and whipped cream."
