RFV discussion: April–July 2014
This entry was deleted by, saying "This is a Russian word with an entry at почемучка, not an English word." But I think there is a reasonable chance that it is attestable, so I restored it and am RFVing it. --WikiTiki89 16:49, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Google Books and Google Groups both have a fair few mentions - almost all in lists of "untranslatable words" - but no uses. Smurrayinchester (talk) 16:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't think the two citations you added should count. The 1968 one uses it as the name of a ship, and the 2014 one uses it clearly as a foreign word, putting it in quotes after defining it. --WikiTiki89 17:40, 6 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Isn't this rather easily translated as "questioner" or "inquisitor"? (although it loses the pestiferous, gleefully malicious character...) - Amgine/t&middot;e 05:32, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * What our current definition fails to mention is that it means someone who always asks "Why?", not just any other question. --WikiTiki89 15:16, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Failed. Citations moved to Citations:pochemuchka. — Ungoliant (falai) 15:56, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
