Hi there. A request for verification is a request that you provide examples of actual use of a word. An entry in a dictionary is not such evidence. We prefer examples from books, newspapers or any other source that is not going to disappear over time (this rules out some websites that are not archived). Removal of an RfV template, as a means of circumventing the process is not allowed and can lead to a user being blocked. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Looking at the actual template I belive this would not fall under RfV policy, which is generally held for only well-attested languages, or ones where sources would be found easily on the internet. Instead, this would fall under the LDL policy for poorly attested languages. Regarding the actual discussion over the source, I can find no article saying that it must fall under a dictionary. Much of Latin's words fall under being only sourced by a dictionary or such. If you could guide me to such wikipedia policy, it would be helpful. Is it the "conveying meaning" policy that you are referring to? I would be glad to provide outside sources for such, however with a language such as Sardinian, it may be difficult to find such.

- The LDL policy in addition states that mentions are appropriate for poorly attested languages or similar. It does state that there needs to be a language-level decision on which sources to accept as adequate. I did not intend to violate wikipedia policy under this. I was under the impression that an RFV template could be removed if the worries were shown to be unsubstantiated. I believe the first step should be to remove the current entry if you believe it should be, and allow for a draft policy to be written. Seeing as there are very few Sardinian language editors at the current moment, it will be impossible to gather the "quorum" necessary to have the policy achieved, but at least we would have something on the table.
- Edit: Looking at the WDL page, Sardinian would definitively fall under the poorly attested criteria.
- Summation: No policy for dealing with CFL:LDL in Sardinian language entries exists, therefore RfV policy is reduced in scope accordingly. Violation made 'in good faith'. Policy impossible to achieve right now. Qwed117 (talk) 01:44, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
