RFV discussion: April–June 2014
rfv-sense: "An instance of such abnormal activity or behaviour; rape." Perversion means rape?! Equinox ◑ 14:04, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Any abstract noun can be made concrete with the meaning "instance of X". I think this should be RFD'd. --WikiTiki89 14:51, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * This should remain in RFV. Citations should be provided such that they use "perversion" in a way that restricts the meaning to "rape". --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:13, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think that the definition ever intended to say that it "means" rape. I just gives rape as an example. --WikiTiki89 19:33, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Then that's a punctuation failure. The use of the semicolon here reads (to me, at least) that  is intended as a full synonym for the preceding phrase.  &#8209;&#8209; Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 20:51, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and removed "rape" as non-synonym of what is before the semicolon. The sense now in RFV is this:
 * "An instance of such abnormal activity or behaviour."

 * I think this is likely to pass RFV, but I still would like to RFD it. --WikiTiki89 16:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)


 * RFV failed: no quotations provided for any of "An instance of such abnormal activity or behaviour", or "rape". --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:12, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
