Delete, per Wiktionary:Beer parlour § Entries for hyphenated attributive forms?. Per utramque cavernam 17:54, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; this is the same kind of discussion as Talk:transitive-verb, which contains Talk:transitive-verb#RFDE: All English attributive forms (with hyphens) of noun phrases. In the latter, -sche argues for keeping, and I say this: "We have the practice of treating the hyphen as significant for the choice of the lemma: we have apple-tree (noun, not attributive form) and apple tree as separate entries. Therefore, transitive-verb is a lemma different from transitive verb. It is predictable, sure, but so are many trivial derivations such as -ness derivations."
Let me note that geographical area is not deleted as sum of parts. If geographical area were sum of parts, I would be okay with considering geographical-area to be sum of parts, like green-leaf. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am rather dubious about this, and am leaning towards delete, unless quotations can be found. PUC has now gone and RFDed geographical area (which I would rather keep), sometimes you can't even mention a term for fear of an RFD. DonnanZ (talk) 15:57, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this is useless. It is silly to type such a thing into a dictionary. Fay Freak (talk) 01:14, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
