RFV discussion: January–February 2020[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

The creators of the system themselves write this with a capital letter, “Delila”: [1], [2], [3]. These uses are not independent in the sense of CFI, but independent uses were spotted here (pdf) and here. Written in lower case, the term (which should be classified as a proper noun) is found here: [4]. This article (pdf) manages to use both “delila” and “DELILA” as well as “Delila” – but the latter spelling may be due to the term being sentence-initial. To complicate the issue, “delila” appears to be also in use as the name of a gene found in specimens of the plant Antirrhinum majus ([5]).  --Lambiam 00:26, 25 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
I have moved it to Delila. As a rather niche software product this feels too brand-y for inclusion to me. Equinox 13:35, 25 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
