RFV discussion: January 2014

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

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.


Rehal

[edit]

The source that claims it is an Anglo-Norman surname is not in any sense a reliable source. I can't find this claim in Google Books or in my Oxford Names Companion which lists both surnames and placenames. It's not in A. D. Mills' A Dictionary of English Place-Names nor is it in Kenneth Cameron's English Place-Names. It is used as a name for villages in India and as an Indian surname, and is also the name of a stand for the Quran. But it isn't an Anglo-Norman surname or an English place-name.

RFV-failed. A bit soon, but compare #Rahal, below. - -sche (discuss) 00:44, 31 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

The entry has been recreated with somewhat different content, which needs to be cleaned up if it is to be kept. - -sche (discuss) 08:26, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Rahal is also not Anglo-Norman but is a surname used in various parts of the world. Dougweller (talk) 15:37, 14 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Accordingly, I've added a {{rfv}} tag to Rahal. - -sche (discuss) 17:38, 14 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
I had fixed Rahal when it was created, but the anon reverted me without me noticing. I have now reverted it to my revision (3 edits reverted, despite what the edit summary says). Feel free to readd (and reRFV) the anon’s sense. — Ungoliant (falai) 17:56, 14 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
