I cited the adjective and doubt that a noun can be cited. Searches for "a trumpophobic" and "trumpophobics" came up empty on News, Books, and Groups. DCDuring (talk) 17:52, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't a vote. DTLHS (talk) 17:57, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Say that to people voting, "delete", elsewhere, above. -- Cirt (talk) 17:59, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Most RfV are relatively straightforward matters of matching citations to definitions. For these there is no overall vote, though the question of whether a cite matches the definition can be argued. For some other cases, such as those involving WT:FICTION above, there is more room for opinion and thus for voting.
Okay thank you. -- Cirt (talk) 18:08, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The entry is Trumphobic, whereas all of the cites are for Trumpophobic. Which is it? Khemehekis (talk) 22:01, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved the cites to Trumpophobic. I added two cites for Trumphobic, but we still need a third for the adjective, as well as the noun. If the adjective fails, we can move the entry to Trumpophobic Kiwima (talk) 22:42, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The current definition has “A person who hates the U.S. president Donald Trump”, but both quotations involve entities (The New York Times, districts) that are not persons. Also, from these two quotations, it is not clear that “hates” is the appropriate description of the attitude; “disagrees with the policies of” may be a better fit.  --Lambiam 09:11, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Lambiam: The two cites are for the adjective, not the noun. Kiwima (talk) 13:54, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, my bad.  --Lambiam 18:37, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
