Talk:poly theistic

RFV discussion: March–April 2018
Alt form of polytheistic. Not sure how a space belongs after what is definitely a prefix. I am not sure about the hyphenated poly-theistic either. Equinox ◑ 01:36, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It is possible that a construction like this could occur. I've seen things like this happen before in English. It's definitely nonstandard and annoying, though. If anything, the label should be "rare, nonstandard". PseudoSkull (talk) 16:21, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

The hyphenated form is easily cited. Most of the hits in Google books that are not hyphenated turn out to be scannos, but I have found and added four cites for that form as well (although the Al-fikr quote is possibly just an extreme case of bad kerning). Kiwima (talk) 22:22, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * That is good detective work but it makes me feel that we need more of a sharp line between rare errors and normal usage. Equinox ◑ 02:42, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree. I am not sure how we would codify it into a set of criteria, but some errors are common enough to meet our attestation criteria but so rare that they would not be included as a "misspelling of". Kiwima (talk) 20:56, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

RFV-passed, but I have moved it to RFD as an error. Kiwima (talk) 20:24, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

RFD discussion: April 2018
This barely squeaked through RFV, but it looks like an error, and should probably be deleted anyway. Kiwima (talk) 20:23, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as a rare misspelling. This is what Google is for. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:30, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * may be acceptable, but delete this. DonnanZ (talk) 12:30, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This entry started its life as a redirect; it should end it as one. Redirect to poly-theistic, in case anyone bothers looking for it. bd2412 T 17:31, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect. — SGconlaw (talk) 08:56, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
