This doesn't seem idiomatic to me. — SGconlaw (talk) 09:34, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

 * "crowd in on" is a known expression to me (BrE). I guess there is a question about whether there should be an entry at crowd in instead of or in addition to this one. Mihia (talk) 01:43, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks SoP to me: +  + . — SGconlaw (talk) 03:28, 20 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep with the use of the lemming heuristic: (oxforddictionaries.com, Macmillan). An alternative is to make it a redirect to crown in, an entry in Merriam-Webster. Similar entries are listed in User:Dan Polansky/Phrasal verbs, with links to dicts. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:31, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * This expression is familiar to me as well, as is crowd in. Though, I know it with a different definition as well, to mean people essentially invading personal space.  (E.g. My aunts and uncles all crowded in on me to say hello.)  I think keep--it doesn't seem to me that it can be broken down at all, as crowd in + on is somewhat incoherent (sounding as if people are crowding in atop somebody), nor crowd + in on.  I wouldn't, however, support the creation of a crowd in page (my sense of the phrase as meaning "gather together, huddle up"), as per crowd (sense 2) + in. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 02:07, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, passed. — SGconlaw (talk) 02:26, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
