Talk:early lifer

Perhaps from the "early life test", which seems to mean looking on Wikipedia to see if Jewishness is mentioned in that section. Equinox ◑ 22:43, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Equinox Yes, that's what I tried to convey with the etym. Feel free to improve the wording.__Gamren (talk) 10:37, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

I mean I think that the phrase "early life test" came first, and "early-lifer" was derived from that. But I can't prove it. Equinox ◑ 15:10, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

I don't think the sense currently provided ("Jew") can be supported using durably archived sources. Maybe Twitter. I can find uses of this noun phrase on Google Books, Google Scholar, and Google Groups, but they aren't in contexts where Judaism would be relevant. 70.172.194.25 03:13, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

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.

This entry, or one or more of its senses, has been nominated as derogatory pursuant to WT:DEROGATORY. It may be speedily deleted if it does not have at least three quotations meeting the attestation requirements within two weeks of the nomination date, that is, by 17 January 2023.

I don't think the sense currently provided ("Jew") can be supported using durably archived sources. Maybe Twitter, but then we have to have a discussion on whether to count those citations, and given the rareness of the term it's unclear whether the community would support keeping this. I can find uses of this noun phrase in various senses on Google Books, Google Scholar, and Google Groups, but they aren't in contexts where Judaism would be relevant (e.g., see the quote added by -sche to Citations:early lifer). 70.172.194.25 03:17, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
