zugrunderichten

That is a wrong spelling of zugrunde richten, see duden.--Bigbossfarin (talk) 10:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Where in that link does it says that zugrunderichten is a wrong spelling of zugrunde richten? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:27, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

There is a section "alternative spelling" (Alternative Schreibung) and the term zugrunderichten is not listed. --Bigbossfarin (talk) 10:57, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

So it doesn't say that this isn't a word then. Right. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:00, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

It fails to say what we say, namely that zugrunderichten is an alternative spelling of zugrunde richten. The burden of proof is on us to show that the single-word spelling is an alternative spelling. I'd say this is a case for WT:RFV, and if the single-word spelling is attested, we still have to decide whether it's an {{alternative spelling of}} or a {{misspelling of}}, the border between which is not clearly defined. —Angr 11:21, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, couldn't agree more. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:23, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, RFV this if desired. Keep here.​—msh210℠ (talk) 19:59, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

• Keep. @Bigbossfarin: English Wiktionary includes words based on available evidence rather than based on what authoritative dictionaries say. Thus, the absence of the term in Duden is merely a hint that a look at evidence could be worthwhile. Relevant searches: google books:"zugrunderichten", google groups:"zugrunderichten", “zugrunderichten”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.; Google Ngram Viewer for German: zugrunderichten,zugrunde richten. The Ngram search suggests that the spelling is rather common. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:37, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

kept. Send to RFV if desired. -- Liliana • 07:24, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
