No quotations, links to Wikipedia, etc. after 2 weeks since creation. Term is so obscure that I doubt the entry serves much purpose. Probably a lost orphan or vandalism. If this page is of any use, please indicate here. Facts707 (talk) 03:01, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- That's not what rfd is for, so I moved it where it belongs. Besides, if you looked at the edit history, you would have seen that it's clearly neither a lost orphan or vandalism. It may be wrong, but it was intentionally created in good faith. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:08, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Verified and to be kept, of course: quotations of non-lemma forms of verbs (canonizes, canonizing, canonized, canonizest, canonizeth) are placed at the lemma (canonize). It’s not our practice to place them at the individual non-lemma entries, as it would be difficult to see at a glance the use of the verb over time. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:12, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- It's not hard to find usage: here, here, here and here are quotes from the Early Modern English period, to show that it isn't just fake archaism. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:53, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Some of which I already added to the lemma last evening, before this discussion began. — SGconlaw (talk) 07:05, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
