 * Interesting. (did you pick your displayed username to avoid these or something?), can you provide some examples that use the sense of ophouden you just added without schone schijn? For example, keep up that enthusiasm doesn't translate to ophouden dat enthousiasme or het enthousiasme ophouden. Only de schijn ophouden seems to work. Schijn is very old: http://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/schijn1. http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/glamour is also interesting. If this sense of ophouden can work in various other combinations, it'll be SoP. If it can't, we should probably add an entry for de schijn ophouden as well.

 * Oh wait, that's a blue link. Which makes me wonder why you didn't nominate that as well. For now I say keep, but I'm willing to reconsider if there's a good argument. W3ird N3rd (talk) 22:20, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
