I am only disputing the characterization of this as solely a plural noun. - Amgine/t&middot;e 05:03, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Neither of those represent a singular form of the sunglasses sense that's currently in the entry, and so they do not call its status as plural-only into question. If either example turned out to be attestable, the definitions would belong at "shutter shade," not "shutter shades." This is a matter for WT:REE, not RFV. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 16:28, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * See shades for an example. It looks to me like shutter shade might be SOP, though. Chuck Entz (talk) 17:25, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The photographic equipment is fairly specific, rather than SOP, as it does not describe its actual purpose (film 'shading'.) The awning use I have no clews about. Obviously either might be used as a plural, while the sunglasses sense would not (thus my contesting the plural only for the term, not .) - Amgine/t&middot;e 20:09, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * "the sunglasses sense would not" "be used as a plural".
 * Of course it can. In this regard it inherits the properties of glasses:.
 * One can say "These glasses are cool" referring either to a single pair of eyeglasses or, say, all those in a display case.
 * Did you mean something other than my interpretation of what you said? DCDuring TALK 20:38, 3 May 2014 (UTC)


 * If you look at shades, you'll see there's a plural-only sense and a plural-of sense. As Cloudcuckoolander was saying, you just need to add the plural-of sense to make it parallel to that entry, which wouldn't require doing anything to the existing sense.

 * I've removed the RFV tag since this was, as noted, not an RFV matter. If you create [[shutter shade]] you can restore [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=shutter_shades&oldid=27156443 this version] of the page and voila... - -sche (discuss) 21:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
