guestfriendliness

Joyce, Fodors, and then a couple mentions (offering it as a "translation" of Gastfreundlichkeit), looking at all 4 of our Google sources. OED, other corpora? DCDuring (talk) 20:54, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Probably not enough to sustain an entry, but could be listed as a rare alternative form at guest-friendliness (move ?), which appears to have enough solid uses Leasnam (talk) 21:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

We don't include hyphenated terms like this unless the unhyphenated, solid-spelled form is attestable. DCDuring (talk) 22:17, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

@DCDuring: Oh, okay I didn't know that. Can you please direct me to where that was discussed/is located ? I missed that. Leasnam (talk) 23:26, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

@Leasnam: What I think @DCDuring is referring to is that when the hyphen is there, this can be considered sum-of-parts. However, in this particular case, I am not sure that holds -- it may still be allowed in by the "fried egg" rule - because guest-friendliness is always used to refer to hospitality rather than friendliness by guests toward their host.

Everything I find is hyphenated except for a single poem by James Joyce. Kiwima (talk) 23:08, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

In all the expressions of the form X-friendly/-friendliness that I am familiar with X is always the direct beneficiary of the friendliness. DCDuring (talk) 05:02, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

@Kiwima “RFV-failed”: why was the entry kept? J3133 (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

@J3133: Good question. Probably an oversight on my part, but honestly, it was more than eight months ago and I don't recall. In any case, I note that there are now three citations on the citations page, so at this point it passes. Kiwima (talk) 21:21, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
