 * I think there is use outside of the work; search for "sloughs of despond" in G.Books. Equinox ◑ 23:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

 * I've created and cited an entry for slough of despond. It would be easy to cite the challenged entry as well as that form is used in allusion to Bunyan or in discussion of his famous work. If we wish to apply a tougher standard than we do for more favored authors, cites not in such works can be found also. DCDuring TALK 03:26, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Deleted: idiomatic uses all appear to be under slough of despond, while Slough of Despond only seems to refer to the place described in Bunyan's work. — SMUconlaw (talk) 10:19, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
