RFD discussion: August–September 2016[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


I'm pretty sure the definition is totally wrong, but in any case, this is not a set phrase by any means. -- Pedrianaplant (talk) 09:23, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I wish we could set it up so anyone who tries to use that "Wortschatz-Lexikon" as a source gets an electric shock... Chuck Entz (talk) 09:34, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My German is not good, but if (as it appears) this is an everyday SoP construct like two-litre bottle or five-bedroom house, then delete. Equinox 09:42, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. The problem is the reference cited: it uses an automated process to assemble frequent collocations and presents them as if they were terms in a dictionary. Chuck Entz (talk) 09:48, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of giving users an electric shock :) could a bot automatically produce a message on their user page warning them that many or most of the entries in that lexicon do not belong in Wiktionary? Going thru such new entries and deciding which to delete is much more work. I wrote a warning on the user page of the creator of this entry and the one below.
Is there an automated way of finding which entries an editor created using that lexicon? If someone created one nonsense entry like this, they're likely to have created many of them if no one warned them when they started. --Espoo (talk) 13:01, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We could, obviously, set up a filter that would warn users who tried to add entries citing that dictionary, and tag the additions... - -sche (discuss) 00:02, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
