tankhood

1. The state or sphere of being in a tank, especially sea creatures.

This is apparently from Finding Nemo. Is this used anywhere else? Chuck Entz (talk) 00:39, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

We have enough cites independent of Finding Nemo to pass WF:Fiction, but they are not permanently archived. Given the negative response we have gotten to putting the new voting scheme for citation acceptability on the main voting page, I am holding the vote for these cites below: Kiwima (talk) 00:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Why not just let it ride, pending a policy vote? DCDuring (talk) 01:07, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

@DCDuring: I am not clear on what you are suggesting. Please explain. Kiwima (talk) 03:11, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Just wait until the relevant policy vote happens. No rush. 30 days is a minimum. There is no maximum. If this page gets crowded, move the undecided entries.definitions to a subpage. DCDuring (talk) 04:20, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Complicating things, this cite (also about Nemo) seems to use "tankhood" to refer to something akin to "brotherhood"/"sisterhood":

• 2010, Petra Eckhard, Michael Fuchs, Walter W. Holbling, Landscapes of Postmodernity: Concepts and Paradigms of Critical Theory, LIT Verlag Münster, →ISBN, page 169:

  His acceptance into the tankhood allows Nemo to conceive of his fellow fish as his surrogate family and redefine the concept of kinship.

(So if we found other cites of that, that'd be another sense...)- -sche (discuss) 21:39, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

• Failed. The other sense is also pretty dubious. - TheDaveRoss 19:30, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
