Request for deletion

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.

Delete. Sum of Parts. Any noun can be suffixed with -like. We should only include real "-like" words such as cherrylike, glasslike, etc, which do not have to be hyphenated in the first place.

Agreed, delete. I'm going to go ahead and take all the SoP requests out of Wiktionary:Wanted entries.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 13:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Tetris-like

Undelete Tetris-like per WT:COALMINE: Tetris-like is much more common than the attested Tetrislike. This should not need a RFD but since an administrator deleted Tetris-like on 1 November 2022 with the rationale "Previously deleted/failed RFD or RFV", we need to use a formal process to undelete the entry. WT:COALMINE is rather controversial yet Wiktionary:Votes/2019-08/Rescinding the "Coalmine" policy resulted in 3-21-3 fail for rescinding it and there is no newer data as far as I know. If someone wants to challenge COALMINE one more time via a vote, that is surely an option. --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:27, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Undelete, although it now (since November) requires an admin to do it. It passes COALMINE, and the notion that you can't use a hyphen in entries with -like is completely barmy. DonnanZ (talk) 17:50, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Undelete per WT:COALMINE. J3133 (talk) 09:27, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

• @Binarystep It has not actually been undeleted, though...? — excarnateSojourner (talk · contrib) 23:40, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
