峰蜜

I found some hits in Google Books, but as far as I could see, they are all scannos of 蜂蜜. --Whym (talk) 08:27, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's possible that it could occur as a (recurring) typo, but that seems a little far-fetched. --BB12 (talk) 10:06, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looking more closely shows that the ZH entry here on the EN WT links through to the ZH WP article for 蜂蜜, with the first character of 蜂 ("bee"), not 峰蜜, with the first character of 峰 ("mountain peak"). Searching the ZH WP for 峰蜜 produces exactly three hits on two different pages, and in all cases, the 峰 looks like it belongs to the preceding phrase and the 蜜 to the succeeding phrase: 芳峰蜜香 ("fragrant mountain-peak honey smell") and 雪峰蜜桔 ("snowy mountain-peak honey tangerine").

Of the four items marked under the ===References=== header,

is the ZH WP, but for the expected spelling of 蜂蜜 instead of the purported lemma of 峰蜜;
is a dead-tree book that hasn't been scanned yet by Google, so I cannot verify;
is a dead link to a non-existent PDF hosted on the website for Bhutan's Department of Trade;
is a link to the Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal, which seems to be a Korean / Hanji > English glossary, but which also doesn't actually include the 峰蜜 term (but which does include the expected spelling 蜂蜜).

I think this entry fails on just about all counts of verifiability. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 16:37, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
