French: common misspelling of poisse. Is it common enough to be attestable per CFI? Mglovesfun (talk) 17:36, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

It appears to be attestable. I'm also seeing other hits for pouasse, such as le pouasse which seems to be a dialectal word, or an obsolete one, or both? I'll pop down to the library at 2pm when it opens again. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:19, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm gonna withdraw my nomination to save time. It is common. Mglovesfun (talk) 07:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

pouasse

Same as above. --Barytonesis (talk) 17:28, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Note: this has been RFD'ed before; see Talk:pouasse. MG found that it was sufficiently common to keep; what makes you disagree with his assessment? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:40, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: 8030 hits for "la pouasse" (397000 for "la poisse"); 3150 hits for "quelle pouasse" (30900 for "quelle poisse"); 307 hits for "une pouasse" (11800 for "une poisse"). It's not that common (+ at least some hits concern the word for a kind of chemical, so they aren't misspellings); so no, I don't think it warrants an entry. --Barytonesis (talk) 21:55, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

• Abstain. It could be deleted a rare misspelling (WT:CFI#Spellings). pouasse,poisse at Google Ngram Viewer does not find pouasse, so no frequency ratio can be calculated and it must be rather rare. However, going by the web counts posted by Barytonesis above, I would say it could be a common misspelling, but I prefer to use Google Ngram Viewer for frequency ratios since it is a tool designed for frequency statistics. A frequency ratio calibration is at User talk:Dan Polansky/2013#What is a misspelling. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:53, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep, seems common enough. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 19:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
