RFV discussion: July–September 2020[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.

I see some uses as an interjection ([1], [2]), but these are instances of code-switching with Pennsylvania Dutch.  --Lambiam 22:09, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can also find instances of code-switching with, or simply interjecting, German (google books:"moving schnell"). I haven't seen any evidence it's English. - -sche (discuss) 07:17, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is used by English speakers who are not German speakers. They may have picked it up from a German-speaking older relative or from a book, movie, or TV show. Such use would be hard to attest. In any event, a Wiktionary user would find the entry for the German word. I note that having separate pages for words in each language would make it harder for such a user to find something useful. DCDuring (talk) 22:10, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
