RFV discussion: November 2015–February 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.


I can't find any quotations for sense 3 ("Something complex that emerges when a large number of simple objects are put together"). OED doesn't contain this sense either. Smuconlaw (talk) 17:01, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't find it in any of the OneLook references, including some obscure glossaries. One had "the fulfillment of all possible capabilities in a biological system" from a dictionary of alternative medicine. I wonder whether homeopathy or something is a source for the definition in question. DCDuring TALK 17:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've removed it. Thanks. Smuconlaw (talk) 10:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And no one has come forward with citations, so: formally RFV-failed. - -sche (discuss) 04:26, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
