RFV discussion[edit]
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Needs citations outside of the Star Trek universe. -- Prince Kassad 19:37, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Uh, it will be difficult to attest the precise definition "a Klingon (member of a fictional extraterrestrial warrior race in the Star Trek universe)" outside the context of Star Trek... --Daniel. 20:00, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- How do you know? -- Prince Kassad 20:02, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'm training to achieve omniscience. If I'm doing it correctly, I'll transcend the "how". Now I'm eagerly waiting for someone to attest this entry, to prove my prediction. --Daniel. 20:37, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think there is reason for your concern is here. Of course there are no Klingons in the real world, but that does not mean that the term couldn't be used independent of reference to Star Trek. It is the same situation that all words coined from fictional universes are in. There are no real lightsabers either, but, as you can see at Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion/Fictional universes, it is very possible for such words to be used out of context to demonstrate their independent existence as a member of the English language.

- I think that Prince Kassad does not want to attest the existence of klingono as a member of the English language, but of Esperanto.
- The reason for my concern would be the piece of text "in the Star Trek universe". If klingono is attestable outside the context of Star Trek, mentioning that series would take place in the etymology, not in the definition. --Daniel. 21:16, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

- It's a touch unlikely that any acceptable citation for klingono can be found if the corresponding citations for that sense of Klingon aren't acceptable.--Prosfilaes 23:31, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
RFV failed, entry deleted. I also deleted the entries for the inflected forms, but the derived terms klingona lingvo, klingona, and klingone still have entries that someone may wish to RFV and/or RFD. —RuakhTALK 19:00, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
