RFV discussion: February–August 2017

[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.


Any takers? Needs formatting and putting in some categories if OK. SemperBlotto (talk) 20:17, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's not Old English; nor Middle English Leasnam (talk) 20:25, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
It's a dialect word, and an alternative form of clomax. Leasnam (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
I've created clomax and labelled glomax as an alt form. I found only one cite for clomax, and it isn't all that great. None for glomax, although there are many for the trademark name GloMax. The fate of these two are now in the hands of due process. Leasnam (talk) 20:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'm wondering if that "clomax" cite is a misprint for "climax". SemperBlotto (talk) 10:50, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Possibly. It was an obvious misprint in several others I found, but this one kinda sorta made some sense (?)... Leasnam (talk) 17:13, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
@SemperBlotto, yeah I think you're right. I've removed the cite. The word is now citeless Leasnam (talk) 19:51, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

RFV-failed, sadly. Because I am convinced that this is a word, although an obscure dialect one. Kiwima (talk) 23:38, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
