- We have a whole category of werecritters that could probably stand to be RFV'ed. My favorite is the werehuman. —Mahāgaja · talk 16:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- FWIW, of the dozen werebeings I just spot-checked (werealligator, wereanimal, werehuman, wereleopard, werelion, wereman, wereowl, wereporcupine, werething) or just created (werelioness, weremonkey), the only one which doesn't seem to meet CFI is wereghost, though even there I only checked books and not Usenet, magazines, etc. - -sche (discuss) 16:59, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- If it can cited, it's worthy of inclusion, regardless of how odd it seems. The "mythology" tag probably isn't suitable though, unless it can be established that werewildcats belong to a mythological tradition. Fantasy, maybe? WordyAndNerdy (talk) 00:17, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- Added three citations, two of them with hyphens. Google also turns up a handful of old newspaper citations describing the same play from the 1966 cite (which seems to have been staged in high schools in the 1960s and '70s) if anyone has a NewspaperArchive.com account.
