Talk:creatify

RFV discussion: October 2015–November 2016

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

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.

I found this from 2013. Kiwima (talk) 01:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Hmm - that link doesn't seem to work - here's a formatted cite:

Also, this one from 2014:

I think above-quoted cite, as well as the Silicon Republic one, are a different sense than the one currently defined in the entry. This sense may very well be attestable, but the sense currently featured in the entry seems to be an unattestable protologism. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 23:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

I have deleted the following sense: "To edit, rewrite, and/or revise using creative writing tools and techniques, as standard texts." The sense was deliberately coined by Yvonne Battle-Felton (who also created the Wiktionary entry) and, as she says on her blog, "'In my spare time I'm going to put these words [creatify and de-creatify] on Wikipedia,' I said. I'm always threatening to put something on Wikipedia." However, I do not see any evidence that the word has caught on, so it remains unverified. The other sense, "To render more creative", has been attested. — SMUconlaw (talk) 19:21, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
