Talk:goodmaker

RFV discussion: March–June 2016
Any takers? SemperBlotto (talk) 10:44, 9 March 2016 (UTC) "[04:59]  Hi there! We created a new word - 'goodmaker' - a person who sets up a business or an organization with the purpose of creating a better world. Synonyms: social entrepreneur, businessman, philanthropist. How can I add this word on Wiktionary? Thank you!"
 * From IRC very early this morning. - TheDaveRoss 11:55, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I saw that. I'm sure it's a word, just not sure that the current def is the right one ? Leasnam (talk) 12:03, 9 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Speedied as obvious protologism (at least in the sense given). Entrepreneurial types seem particularly keen to create and advertise protologisms, I've noticed. Equinox ◑ 12:04, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * In contrast social entrepreneur is a term that other dictionaries have and we lacked, though we had social entrepreneurship. DCDuring TALK 14:48, 9 March 2016 (UTC)


 * User:Kiwima has recreated the entry with citations, but I have re-added an RFV tag, because of the five citations currently in the entry, all but one (2005) appear to be scannos of either good-maker, good maker, good ... makers, or good makers. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 13:04, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The purported 1974 citation is an edition of a 1631 translation of a work by Bernard of Clairvaux. The term appears to be good maker, more plausible in a religious work. DCDuring TALK 13:50, 10 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I have added a couple more citations. Kiwima (talk) 22:50, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * "good in their nature and framed by a good maker": that's got to be a maker (God) who is good, not a maker of good. Equinox ◑ 22:59, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks. The 2008 citation looks solid, but the 1962 citation was an OCR error. There are now two valid citations for sense 1 and zero valid citations for sense 2. Kiwima, when adding citations, it would help if you read the scanned page rather than just copying Google's OCR text, which often has these kinds of errors. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:58, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * RFV failed. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 12:12, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
