Deletion debate[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


The prerequisite definitions for both age and bracket can be found at their pages. So we should probably delete this one, right? ---> Tooironic 04:14, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lemmings have this: Cambridge Advanced Learner's and Wordnet. DCDuring TALK 14:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What is this "lemmings" thing you keep talking about? Seems I'm not quite up to speed with the latest Wiktionary jargon. Is it in our CFI? ---> Tooironic 13:49, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not jargon. It is from the myth that migrating lemmings will follow each other even to certain death. See w:Lemming#Mass-Suicide Myth. Pingku 14:39, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
For us lemmings are of the species Lemmus lexicographicus subspecies communis, ie, other dictionaries, especially those findable at OneLook, but also subspecies commercialis, vulgaris, chartaceus, etc. In this case, only some of subspecies pedagogicus (Cambridge Advanced Learner's) and semanticus (Wordnet) were involved.

The only thing I see in the CFI about other dictionaries is "an appearance in someone’s online dictionary is suggestive, but it does not show the word actually used to convey meaning", which is about attestation, not idiomaticity.​—msh210 (talk) 16:46, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
