The Storm

Another entry making Wiktionary the short-attention-span version of Wikipedia. Not in other dictionaries. Two definitions. The cites are not all from durably archived media and are mentiony (scare quotes, nearby definitions, etc). It might well be real, but we need to have good attestation.

I've made a start by replacing the first cite with a better one; a good place to look (especially for the second definition) might be in works (both online [these will probably need to be archived through Wayback Machine] and books [e.g. this one) by QAnon proponents. --Hazarasp (talk) 03:18, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

@Hazarasp There are also Usenet cites. [1] [2] (a repost of the Vox article) And one cite in the Manhattan Express, page 15. Then there is... this. Archived pages in the Wayback Machine aren't considered durable, however. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 12:53, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

I know Wayback Machine archives aren't considered durable (though I'd like to hear your take on why), but they're better than nothing. --Hazarasp (talk · contributions) 13:17, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

See here. (new link here) ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 13:28, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

I think the first sense could pass under hot-word criteria now. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 14:28, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
