ever-watchful

As above. - -sche (discuss) 19:15, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

It doesn't pass the lemming test, but it's reasonably common, with or without the hyphen, and verifiable on Google Books. DonnanZ (talk) 22:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Delete. Minus the hyphen bit, you could say the same for "like four of the"... Chuck Entz (talk) 03:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm not so sure the un-hyphenated form is actually citable: John Cross tried to find citations of it here, but they all actually used a hyphen which Google's OCR was just omitting. - -sche (discuss) 04:31, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Sorry. I will have another try. John Cross (talk) 06:11, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I may have been misunderstood, I meant without a hyphen as "ever watchful", everwatchful naturally never entered my mind. Keep this one anyway. DonnanZ (talk) 09:21, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Keep - everwatchful appears to be a word. John Cross (talk) 00:25, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Probably in American English, but not British. DonnanZ (talk) 14:39, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
