"Used in building." Sorry what, does this mean that a hammer is structural? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:57, 16 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

RFV it? It might be redundant to sense 1. Equinox 18:01, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

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.


Sense 3: "That is lasting. economics". Equinox 20:30, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Looks like a misinterpretation of sense 1 to me (e.g. talking about the structural problems of an economy). —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 10:14, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Only some uses of structural in economics have it interpretable as "lasting" (eg, structural inequality, structural inflation), but some don't (eg, structural adjustment, usage in econometrics such as structural model). IOW, even with attestation (which arguably could be found, though the definition might still be ambiguous), this definition would be very vulnerable to RfD.
