- All I found are the same two cites of Norvegophile you found, and one of "Norvego-Swedish" (a la "Sino-Japanese" etc). If we take "three different words using the prefix" to be the metric of attesting it, we still need one more. - -sche (discuss) 17:12, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- I would require three different words that would actually be includable on their own. DTLHS (talk) 17:14, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- If it becomes relevant (if someone can find a third word), some previous discussion of criteria, including the idea that three nonce words could be enough, is at Talk:arno-. - -sche (discuss) 18:05, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- It is apparently relevant, since I just added Norvego-American. Kiwima (talk) 01:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe we should have a proper vote on this. DTLHS (talk) 02:52, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Perhaps. On one hand, I can see rationales for wanting three attestable words (in edge cases, a compound apparently using a prefix might be a typo or the sense might be unclear, and how much use is an entry if < 3 entries would "use"/link to it?), but on the other hand, we only require three citations of a preposition or adverb, so it makes sense to me (at least) that we'd only require three and not nine citations of a prefix... - -sche (discuss) 06:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- The issue with prefixes is that they be productive in Modern English - it seems to me that nonces that use a prefix are evidence for that, so I would call this cited. Kiwima (talk) 19:56, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- (FWIW, I agree.) - -sche (discuss) 02:13, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

- I've added a citation of Norvego-Yugoslavian(!), and two of Norvego-Icelandic by the same author. (For attesting the Latin prefix, there is also google books:"norvego-Danus". In French, the prefix norvégo- seems to exist, given "norvégo-américain(s)", "norvégo-suédois(e)", "norvégo-islandais(e)" and "norvégo-danois(e)".) - -sche (discuss) 06:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
