Talk:cannista

RFV discussion: May–June 2019
Kiwima found three cites to make this a hot word, however it looks like all three are referring to a job title at a single store. I do not see any evidence of broader adoption, thus I don't think this even counts as a hot word. - TheDaveRoss  13:53, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, a single chain of stores (whose name is not always gotten correct). Kiwima (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The problem I see is with the "independent" criterium of WT:CFI. —Rua (mew) 19:44, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * A possible counter-example might be tweet, which presumably applies only to Twitter. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:19, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * How does that fit into CFI then? They uses are not independent because they are all as a result of the Twitter company inventing and promoting it. —Rua (mew) 09:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a bit of a grey area, but IMO if there are people who are independent of each other and they use the term tweet, those uses are independent. Otherwise... well, how is it different from other coined words (e.g. in academia for particular species like the olinguito) that have subsequently caught on? Other words to consider: Cablinasian, which apparently only refers to Tiger Woods (and for a quite limited window of time, too!), Windy City where various users are all referring to Chicago, and RPattz (kept at RFD) always referring to a specific person... - -sche (discuss) 07:47, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I can't believe they went with this when "cannabarista" was right there... - -sche (discuss) 07:47, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

This is an ambiguous call, and I am going to let it pass for now. If it manages to survive after it's hotword status expires, then that is probably the correct call. If it doesn't, then it will be deleted in not too much time anyway. Kiwima (talk) 22:11, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
