Talk:マツダ

RFV discussion: September 2017–February 2018

 * Deleted. Never used in that way. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 07:53, 22 September 2017 (UTC)


 * FWIW, it's listed as an independent lemma in both Daijirin and Shogakukan. Apparently Daijisen has it too; see the Daijirin and Daijisen entries at Kotobank.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 13:32, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I didn’t know that. I have never seen that usage, but it should be kept by WT:LEMMING. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 23:45, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * WT:LEMMING only applies to idioms, no? —suzukaze (t・c) 23:54, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Indeed., considering you are an admin, it is important that you reacquaint yourself with WT:CFI. Whether or not other dictionaries have this is irrelevant; we need to find evidence of use. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:12, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, then I’d say FRV failed. I can find only dictionaries, with no attestation in books: [//www.google.com/search?q=マツダ+ゾロアスター&tbm=bks], [//www.google.com/search?q=マツダ+拝火教&tbm=bks]. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 03:36, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Another 2p: Putting マツダ in quotes seems to find some instances, not all of which are preceded by アフラ: . ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 07:56, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
