Not only is the definition questionable, this is SOP if you know the relevant sense of boon. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:50, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Lexico says "A close friend with whom one enjoys spending time", rather than "best friend". I'm not sure our definition at boon agrees with that. Keep but amend, I think. DonnanZ (talk) 09:15, 27 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Chuck Entz: Does deleting the article mean that the synonym in best friend has to go as well? Fytcha (talk) 04:24, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'm not happy with that decision. DonnanZ (talk) 10:55, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
We'll give it more time. Restored.
The term could have merits as the only phrase where this meaning of boon is still in use. DAVilla 17:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Keep, as I assume the answer to my above question to be yes. boon companion is an idiomatic (sense 1) synonym of best friend; I see value in recording that. Fytcha (talk) 22:18, 16 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Keep per DonnanZ and Fytcha. AG202 (talk) 04:32, 10 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Keep. Fossil phrases should not be regarded as SoP. ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 18:17, 10 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
