kondo

Protologism? I can't see any usage before 2014. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:57, 14 March 2015 (UTC) (p.s. Might need moving to Kondo if OK. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

The usage started in Japan but I don't know how far back it goes. Book was published 2001 in Japan. SageGreenRider (talk) 16:22, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Was it published in English in 2001? If not, when was it used in English for the first time? Renard Migrant (talk) 18:21, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• Should be at WT:RFV#kondo. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Move to RFV. Doubt it will pass, but there is limited usage on the Web. Equinox ◑ 16:48, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• Comment Even if it is new, I thought we kept hot words, provisionally at least? SageGreenRider (talk) 18:29, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

  I've tagged it with {{hot word|date=2015-02-26}} which is the earliest citation in the entry. There might be something earlier, perhaps on UseNet. The English translation got a rush of publicity on March 26, 2014, but I didn't find hits for kondoed or kondoing until later. DCDuring TALK 13:57, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Kept There's no consensus to delete this. The only thing approaching consensus here is to send it to RfV, and it passed RfV awhile back. Should have been closed weeks ago. Purplebackpack89 22:08, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
