-farm and rage-

These suffixes seem to just be the terms farm and rage used in compounds. Ioaxxere (talk) 21:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I'd delete, yes. Equinox ◑ 21:37, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Delete, but I must note that the sense in question is missing from farm. It should be moved there. Lunabunn (talk) 00:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Keep - they cannot be used with these senses outside of compounds, and they have very specific semantic connotations. For rage- in particular, there's also the fact it's used in unhyphenated compounds like ragequit, so you may as well nominate -man if you're going down this route.

Delete, it doesn't make sense to state that like farm is like + -farm. The hyphen is supposed to indicate that we're dealing with a bound morpheme, which farm clearly isn't. PUC – 17:05, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Delete (or move?) -farm because all the examples given are of [x] farm; even if someone adds examples unspaced compounds (foofarm), it might be more parsimonious to view those as still using the noun farm, whether in one of the currently existing senses or in a sense that needs to be added (in the same way that "doghouse" does not make us add -house).- -sche (discuss) 19:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Delete. Indeed, they're just compounds. Nicodene (talk) 19:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
