comb one's hair

How is this not SoP? -- Liliana • 18:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Also from User:Shoof; wipe one's butt, brush one's hair, brush one's teeth. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:08, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Delete, this is covered at comb: "To groom the hair with a toothed implement." I will slightly modify that. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I suppose brush one's teeth does imply with a toothbrush, water and toothpaste, not just with any sort of brush. Wipe one's butt (or ass, or arse, and so on) does imply to do so to remove feces, though not always with toilet paper. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:15, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Delete all. SoP. SemperBlotto (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Deletelll all. SoP DCDuring TALK 21:25, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Delete all, per above. Astral (talk) 23:07, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Maybe it could be saved as a translation target. If not, delete. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 02:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Comment. I've now tagged the other three entries listed above with {{rfd|fragment=comb one's hair}} (i.e. linking here).​—msh210℠ (talk) 03:15, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Delete all, SOP.​—msh210℠ (talk) 03:15, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Delete all. As MG pointed out, User:Shoof's contribs are a freak show of the SOP and the bizarre: poop one's pants, pee one's pants, once you go black, you never go back, threety, 12th grade, nineteen sixty-eight, sheeps, plus what looks like a veritable "rfv's greatest hits". This is mostly because he or she seems to be going for sheer volume of new entries rather than thinking at all about CFI. There are some that filled overlooked, but significant gaps in our word list, but most are questionable, at best. Chuck Entz (talk) 08:33, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Delete all, self-evident. Smurrayinchester (talk) 09:21, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I have deleted all the entries originally placed in this RFD by Liliana and Mglovesfun. Those pointed out by Chuck Entz in the same vein still need to be deleted. --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 03:10, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I don’t support deleting any of those he mentioned. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 03:59, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I largely agree, but I think nineteen sixty-eight needs to go, and I'd really like to see some citations for threety. I can find no uses, only mentions of it in the form of people suggesting that the best way to teach children units is to call the numbers twoty, threety, fourty, fivety... etc. No sign of an obsolete use. I'm on the fence about pee one's pants etc.; it seems sum of parts, but it's idiomatic (a girl would never be said to pee her knickers/skirt (depending on whether it's British or US pants)) and we claim that pee as a verb is intransitive. Smurrayinchester (talk) 19:10, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't nominating anything specific, just providing a sampler to give a hint of what this user's oeuvre is like. Someone needs to look through the whole body of their contribs for bad entries, not just the ones that have popped up lately. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:08, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

See above. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:15, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

@Suzukaze-c, Wyang: I botched the translations a bit as I got distracted and Webblio thinks 髪をとく is a word. —Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 07:29, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

かみをとく seems to be only in JMDict. I personally don't think it needs an entry. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 07:32, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
