Talk:test entry

RFD discussion: May 2019–April 2020
A low-effort WT:COALMINE test case? I don't see the utility. Equinox ◑ 16:26, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, and delete with it. This is a great example of how Usenet is a good source to find out how people are using words, and an awful source to find attribution for CFI compliance. You can find "attribution" of myriad pairs of words with spaces missing between them because people don't spend much time editing posts, and because people post code. Things like "firstname", "lastname", "nullvalue", etc. are easily citable using Usenet, but utter garbage if you are trying to create a dictionary of the English language. -  TheDaveRoss  17:35, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Yes, delete - clearly SoP. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:41, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I thought it was Wonderfool who created this entry, and all of his/her entries should be deleted. --I learned some phrases (talk) 07:44, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess this was created as a test entry to see how long it would take before it was deleted. --Lambiam 09:56, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
 * -sche is Wonderfool! - TheDaveRoss  13:03, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I created testentry to test a certain template function that only worked in mainspace at that time, and was going to delete it (as my "definition" said, haha), but Liliana turned it into a real entry, so I created this more common (spaced) spelling per COALMINE. - -sche (discuss) 22:52, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per Dave Ross. Also delete testentry. What he said, all manner of garbage variable-name-style "words" such as "firstname", "lastname" etc. can no doubt be attested in prose use. It doesn't mean we need to trouble ourselves with them. With no offence intended to the creator, this has to be one of my favourite ever definitions:
 * test entry
 * A test entry.

 * Abstain. The definition is not a definition. DonnanZ (talk) 09:19, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Describing the purpose of a test entry would be more helpful perhaps. DonnanZ (talk) 08:55, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
