Temporarily abstain until icefree is verified. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 19:59, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Keep per WT:COALMINE, as icefree has sufficient citation. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 13:35, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

What would you prefer - icefree? It is often used when referring to areas of water. Reference added, keep. DonnanZ (talk) 18:02, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Keep since icefree seems to be attested, counterpart to icebound. - -sche (discuss) 19:19, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

It looks like we have two cites for icefree--if we can find a third that would be good. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 19:58, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Ironically, it shouldn't make any difference, as ice-free is still a single albeit suffixed hyphenated word. DonnanZ (talk) 20:42, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

• Keep per WT:COALMINE: ice-free, icefree at Google Ngram Viewer, and also WT:LEMMING: M-W[1]. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:47, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
