RFV discussion: August–September 2018

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

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.


All three existing citations are mentions, not uses. They could also be interpreted as "olorine" being a particular type of herb (a noun), rather than the "swan-related" adjective given. Equinox 17:48, 18 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Dictionary of the Scottish Language calls the usage in the Scots or Scottish English cite a nonce. Olorinus is not rare in Latin. All the cites are somewhat mentiony, but the one from 2004 is certainly a mention. DCDuring (talk) 18:13, 18 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
