Talk:smalltown

Really, the citations suggest this is an alternative spelling of the (adjective / attributively-used noun) small-town. OTOH, if "smalltowns" is attested, we can probably keep this. - -sche (discuss) 22:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) I spose we need a noun and adjective sense then. I think the citation say either or both.Lucifer (talk) 23:06, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Is this a noun (presumably with a plural, smalltowns), or an adjective (like small-town), or both? And is the definition accurate in its detail? - -sche (discuss) 03:08, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * In the singular, there are so many proper noun/brand name uses that I decided to concentrate on the plural for proof of concept. The overwhelming majority are scannos or poetic "special effects", but there are a handful of genuine-looking noun usages:, ,,,, and (there are no doubt more).

 * Thanks for the citations, Chuck! I've edited the three articles (smalltown, small-town, small town) and withdrawn the RFV. - -sche (discuss) 21:55, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
