1471

1471 is not really a notable number. I can't see any four-digit numbers apart from 1000 so does this page really need to stay? Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:20, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

• I assume you just mean the Translingual section, not the English one. SemperBlotto (talk) 21:29, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Delete the (translingual) generic-number sense at least. Numbers are constructed by rule, not coined as lexemes. Equinox ◑ 21:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Is the English entry really an English word? Do Cornish and Arabic speakers in the UK use a different call return number? — Ungoliant ^(falai) 17:24, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Call return number for the UK. Can this be cited in running English text? Should it even be English? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 19:30, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

I was unsuccessful in finding any quotes that make this look like a word (e.g. something like "the number I got from a 1471.") - All uses with the meaning seem to be more of the form "a 1471 call" or "dialed 1471". The best I could come up with was "Many facilities have been added to the network without disruption to the network capacity, such as the 1471 service, but other services have stressed the network such that great ingenuity is required to manage them and their impact on other traffic." in Telecommunications Performance Engineering (page 39). Personally, this looks more like wikipedia material than wiktionary material to me. Kiwima (talk) 23:34, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

It's mentioned in Last-call return in Wikipedia. You will find some quotes in Google Books here. DonnanZ (talk) 17:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

I think I missed Kiwima's point. I would class it as a numeral, not a noun, so whether that makes any difference I don't know. DonnanZ (talk) 17:30, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
