RFV discussion: February–April 2017
Tagged for speedy deletion by PapiDimmi with the reason “Not an actual word”. The entry has three quotations (all dated 2017) from Tumblr, which I believe is not a durably archive source. This is a verification matter since, if attested, this word would otherwise satisfy WT:CFI, AFAICT. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 11:07, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Tumblr users make up words for fandoms all the time. Tumblr is not a verifiable source for words to add to the dictionary. ― PapíDimmi  ( talk | contribs )  11:31, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Indeed it isn't, but the word may be attested elsewhere (as much as I doubt it). Submitting a request for verification is the proper procedure in cases like this one. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 11:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Should a word be in the dictionary when it a word created by a fandom to refer to one specific relationship in a webcomic? Doesn’t make sense to me. By this logic, we’d add a lot of other fake words to Wiktionary, too. ― PapíDimmi  ( talk | contribs )  11:35, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Read the preamble to this page and WT:CFI (especially WT:ATTEST). My actions should then make sense to you. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 11:39, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * What is a "fake word"? — Kleio (t · c) 20:11, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Move to RFV. (oops this is RFV!) We already have a load of fandom ship names like Korrasami, Rayne and Steroline. They're words with meanings, not brand names, nor used in fictional works. Equinox ◑ 19:48, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Huh? This is RFV… — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:48, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * No excuses, just move it again! —CodeCat 23:15, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Pairing names and similar fandom terminology strike me as entirely subject to WT:FICTION, even if they don't strictly originate from the parent work itself. There should be room for many, many more fiction appendices than we seem to currently have, though. --Tropylium (talk) 03:29, 16 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Google Groups did not produce any citations, so much of the discussion above is moot. RFV failed. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
