Rfv-sense for both senses: (1) an introvert who likes outdoorsy activities, and (2) a synonym for extrovert. The entry was created with sense (1) by an anon who later registered as User:Logophilic K; that sense was replaced by sense (2) by User:SemperBlotto. Logophilic K objected to that in the Tea room, so I've restored both senses and am RFVing both of them here, so we can find out how this word is actually used in durably archived sources. Incidentally, all I can find on b.g.c is this, which is short on context but appears to be sense (2). But I can't find 2 more attestations of it in that sense. As far as I can tell, all other b.g.c hits of "outrovert", "outroverts", and "outroverted" are scannos for the corresponding forms of controvert. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 21:37, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've added two citations for the "extrovert" sense. Both appear to be written by non-native English speakers. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- I think it's a joke, but it might coincidentally turn out to be attested. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:29, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- I can find one citation on Issuu:
- 2009, Krads (Architecture Project Magazine), page 130:
- The introvert facade consists of a number of different materials, […] The outrovert facade, facing the park[,] is designed to seem more homogenuos[sic].

- The citations all seem adjectival. I've changed the entry like this; I think it just barely meets CFI now. ("Extrovert facade" does seem to be a term of art / architecture.) - -sche (discuss) 21:05, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
