Filio de puta etc

Please see WT:ATTEST so that you know what people are talking about. Words you add in Interlingua need to be used in durably archived sources like books, magazines, or Usenet. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 22:41, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

There aren't a lot of books in Interlingua and I certainly can't afford the ones that exist. Jan sewi (talk) 02:05, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

But I did point out that you have an entire vocabulary of Lojban words, and that language basically only exists in the form of websites and a reference manual. If you want to go contesting the words in random obscure constructed languages, then you've got a good shot at winning, but singling out a particular word in a particular obscure constructed language is anything but neutral.

The attestation requirements do not require that you have durably archived sources, only that you point out that the word is clearly in widespread use. It's in the latest official dictionary from the Union Mundial pro Interlingua in addition to me being able to point out numerous non-durably-archived uses of the word; what else exactly are you expecting from a language as not-widely-spoken as Interlingua?
