juniperite

A fossil of a juniper plant. In the Century Dictionary, nowhere else. DTLHS (talk) 03:53, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm... You're right, almost nothing in books other than the Century Dictionary. Let's do an analysis here.

I see two uses in Groups, but the first seems to be referring to a company. I can't really understand the connotation of the first one, but the term seems to be used to refer to "Juniper security". see this quote: "The case is been reported to nearest police station from Juniper security". The second seems to be referring to something on a computer (possibly the same security trademark?). It could also have been a typo. quote: "The accentuating stanchion Chooser can right-justify the vomiting tamperer breakpoint if you stroke the boosting juniperite case in the bogging dreg news.announce.newuser after the deflouring hanger echo and dignifying vallecula SSL have been incorruptibly twirling the podding thermobattery silicon-controlled rectifier."

I also searched for the term's plural form. I got two results, again. These results seem to be referring to some kind of group of people called the "Juniperites". (both from 2007 and 8)

No results in News.

Not cited. The term in Groups seem to be used in various contexts, none of which seem to actually be referring to the "fossil". I may be wrong, of course. But seeing how none of the other contexts of "juniperite" seem to mean one specific thing in 3 sources, there's no point in having an entry for this at all; fossil or otherwise.

I forgot to mention that, even if there were 3 sources that happened to refer to the security brand name, that it may still not meet WT:BRAND, as it appears to be a very rare term nonetheless. Philmonte101 (talk) 05:13, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I think the editor of the Century Dictionary may have made a mistake. Juniperite does not appear to be an attested English word, but Juniperites appears to be a valid translingual entry as the genus of an extinct plant species known only in fossil form: see this definition from A New Universal Etymological Technological, and Pronouncing Dictionary [...], and the following attestations: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. — SMUconlaw (talk) 12:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

I have created Juniperites. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:23, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
