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.
Tagged for speedy deletion by PapiDimmi with the reason “Not an actual word”. The entry has three quotations (all dated 2017) from Tumblr, which I believe is not a durably archive source. This is a verification matter since, if attested, this word would otherwise satisfy WT:CFI, AFAICT. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 11:07, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- Tumblr users make up words for fandoms all the time. Tumblr is not a verifiable source for words to add to the dictionary.

- @PapiDimmi: Indeed it isn't, but the word may be attested elsewhere (as much as I doubt it). Submitting a request for verification is the proper procedure in cases like this one. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 11:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- Should a word be in the dictionary when it a word created by a fandom to refer to one specific relationship in a webcomic? Doesn’t make sense to me. By this logic, we’d add a lot of other fake words to Wiktionary, too.

- @PapiDimmi: Read the preamble to this page and WT:CFI (especially WT:ATTEST). My actions should then make sense to you. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 11:39, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Move to RFV.(oops this is RFV!) We already have a load of fandom ship names like Korrasami, Rayne and Steroline. They're words with meanings, not brand names, nor used in fictional works. Equinox ◑ 19:48, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Equinox: Huh? This is RFV… — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:48, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- No excuses, just move it again! —CodeCat 23:15, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

- Pairing names and similar fandom terminology strike me as entirely subject to WT:FICTION, even if they don't strictly originate from the parent work itself. There should be room for many, many more fiction appendices than we seem to currently have, though. --Tropylium (talk) 03:29, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Google Groups did not produce any citations, so much of the discussion above is moot. RFV failed. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
