RFV discussion: June–July 2019[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.


Rfv-senses:

  • A homonymous group of words whose only difference is their part of speech (similar to a polyseme, but senses are restrictive to part of speech).
  • A word or name with many forms/spellings (i.e., Brad, Bradley, Bradly, Bradley; color, colour).

I couldn't find those two senses, but did find cites to support a number of missing meanings. One is sort of close to the "many forms/spellings" meaning, but with the multiple names more distinct (e.g. "New York City" and "The Big Apple"). Kiwima (talk) 00:35, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
