The following link finds 4 or 5 uses in English (but are they typos? I don't know): http://www.google.com/search?hl=fr&tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=belieber&num=10&lr=lang_en#q=%22belieber%22&hl=fr&lr=lang_en&tbs=bks:1,lr:lang_1en&ei=v552Tb-lPIet8AOd74CgDA&start=0&sa=N&fp=a8df42124514675e Lmaltier 21:29, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

German[edit]

Is it a misspelling or not? The first part of the definition suggests it isn't, but the bit in brackets suggests it is. Renard Migrant (talk) 23:15, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, it isn't attested outside of the one book cited, and even other additions of that book use beliebiger, which strongly suggests that it's just a typo in that edition. Almost all of the Google Books hits it gets are scannos of "beliebet" — for that matter, even the hits "beliebere" gets are scannos for "beliebet". The first genuine hit is a misspelling of a different word, beliebter: "Es ist ein guter und belieber Ort." (Gerhard Armanski, Die geflügelte Sonne von Edfu: Roman aus dem ptolemäischen Ägypten). The German section as a whole and the citation in question were added by a non-German-speaker (Doremítzwr) with no definition, so I'm just going to remove it as "created in error". - -sche (discuss) 20:43, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
