RFV discussion: July–September 2018

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

cinemology

Ahem.......this is a strange one. Definitely the entry needs to be cleaned up anyway; "describes" doesn't generally start a good definition. But I only found this and this in my search for citations, and I doubt they line up with the current definition. I can't find evidence that Keanu Reeves was the first person this word was used to describe either, at least in durable sources, and in fact I'm almost certain that's not the case. From what I'm looking at here, the word looks like a nonce word or at best an informal term, but that does not alone deny its inclusion. My only worry is that if we can find over 3 citations, can we prove that any 3 of them have the same meaning? (Also, unrelatedly, I'm finding a lot of news results, but those are for an Italian book with the name Cinemology, perhaps deserving of a Wikipedia article? Anyway be careful for titles.) @Kiwima might be a good person for this citation hunt. PseudoSkull (talk) 17:38, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

I will see about getting the article I read this in uploaded as a citation. I do believe that the word has been used to describe other works in the past. – Cinelosopher

Here are some citations that would fit a different sense:
