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

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


"A corridor of a building that has been connected to supposed ghostly activity." Sum of parts. Note that the given citation is for "ghost's corridor". Equinox 14:18, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Per "retiring" above, I do feel there is a possible case for including a potentially SoP entry when a non-SoP entry is also listed. Someone could look up a "ghost corridor" that was intended in the "haunted house" sense, and get terribly confused. The logic for keeping this is IMO just as strong as the "coalmine" argument.

I believe the way we usually handle this is with {{&lit}}, as on dead president. Delete and add {{&lit}} in its place. - -sche (discuss) 04:45, 23 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Per dead president, the entry would then read "Used other than with a figurative or idiomatic meaning: see ghost, corridor". I am not completely sure that users would readily understand from this the meaning "A corridor of a building that has been connected to supposed ghostly activity".
