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.


Rfv-sense: "A figure with nine sides; a nonagon."
Claimed to be from Webster's, but surely -hedron is used only for solid figures?— Pingkudimmi 12:14, 19 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes, the definition is wrong – it means a solid figure with nine faces. Seems to be attestable: [1] (1993), [2] (1994; mention), [3] (2001), [4] (2007), [5] (2007; graph caption only), [6] (2013), [7] (2015), [8] (2016; mention). — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:56, 19 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I'd already added and cited the polyhedron sense. :) This rfv is basically procedural, since the template use indicates a claimed dictionary entry for the polygon sense. — Pingkudimmi 04:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Right. None of the uses indicated above seem to refer to a polygon. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:10, 20 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
