RFV-sense. It seems I forgot to list this when I tagged it a while ago. - -sche (discuss) 01:44, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- I only found one quote that supports that sense:
- Lua error in Module:quote at line 2959: Parameter 1 is required.
but I was supprised to find any! Kiwima (talk) 05:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- Here are a few more:
- I am not sure those aren't equally valid citations for the 'dependable', but I suspect every citation will be that way since the nuance is all packed within the word and not within the context. The first two quotes especially seem more like cites for the 'dependable' meaning, the second two are less clear but only the fourth seems to lean more toward 'respectable'. - TheDaveRoss 11:43, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- I was just about to say the same thing — some of these citations seem to use the "dependable" sense more than the "respectable" sense, the others are ambiguous. Should the two senses be combined? - -sche (discuss) 19:38, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
