RFV discussion: February–August 2016[edit]

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.


"A friend". Evidently intended to be the "what's up, doc?" sense. Is the definition correct? Could you say e.g. "I invited all of my docs to the party"? If not, we may need to redefine it as an informal term of address, or similar. Equinox 01:59, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think what's up, doc might deserve an entry of its own; looking for citations of (for example) "hey, doc" only pulls up actual doctors or people referred to as Doc. Anyway, RFV failed. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:32, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
