RFV discussion: January–February 2022

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

See Wiktionary:Criteria_for_inclusion#Celestial_objects, which states that
"All systematic names of celestial objects, as well as celestial objects not listed above (including comets and manmade objects in space) shall be included if they have three citations of figurative use that fulfill attestation requirements, in the same manner as place names above".
There are certainly more than three uses on Google Scholar: [1], although we need three figurative uses. CFI states
"Figurative use refers to figurative language (e.g., simile, metaphor, metonymy) that makes reference to one or more of the place's characteristics. In the case of simile and metaphor, the definition should note the place's relevant characteristics."

Well, Google Scholar isn't exactly the first place I would turn to for figurative uses...
I guess we are looking for things like "it felt hotter than HAT-P-11 under the unforgiving desert sun", which we're pretty obviously not going to find. Or am I reading too much into the "figurative use" criterion? This, that and the other (talk) 15:11, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@This, that and the other: I don’t think your sample sentence actually shows a figurative use; it’s still referring directly to HAT-P-11 and comparing something to it. A figurative use would be something like (the extremely implausible) “the moon hung in the sky, a pale HAT-P-11 whose fate was forever tied with the Earth’s”. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:04, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
