Rfv-sense

The 2nd definition was disputed in this Commons discussion and its usage was questionable. It was added here in 2009 and not present on the original article. Unless there's an adequate reference to support the 2nd term I propose it be removed. 99.250.161.24 08:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I actually merged the senses just after your edit, I agree it's impossible to maintain two senses here. Feel free to revert, anyone, if you disagree though. Ƿidsiþ 08:55, 25 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Brought this up on your talk, might be more appropriate here though, sorry. I'm thinking just deletion of 2nd because the way it was merged makes it overly specific. Someone wouldn't need to be diagnosed with an illness to be called this term. A good example's Roman Polanski, odds are people have called him this based on pleading guilty in the Geimer case, but his diagnosis returned a negative for philias. 99.250.161.24 09:03, 25 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
While it's possible to draw a distinction, the question is over usage; how do English speakers use the term? I think when English speakers use pedophile or kiddy-fiddler, they're not drawing a distinction, so nor should our definition. Not an RFV case, per se.
