~~city dweller~~

Someone living in a city. Could be reduced to a translation entry perhaps, but there's urbanite anyway. Equinox ◑ 19:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tempted to keep this as a translation hub, as urbanite is not particularly common in this sense. Theknightwho (talk) 01:15, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WT:COALMINE. Binarystep (talk) 09:54, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is citydweller a valid spelling, though? It looks awful. 194.78.122.57 15:38, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's less common than city dweller, but it's functionally no different than slumdweller. Binarystep (talk) 00:22, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the above. To repeat the principle, we would unquestionably have an entry on the attested single word citydweller, so it would make no sense to exclude the more common alternative spelling differing by the inclusion of a single space. bd2412 T 06:06, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
