It seems odd to create a new entry and immediately RFV it yourself. Equinox ◑ 19:33, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Is that not how you're supposed to do it? I posted the last entries I created (quesalupa & quesarito) here so that they could get verified with better citation. I may have misinterpreted the intended purpose of this page? 73.157.135.57 20:27, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

RFV is used to dispute whether an entry exists. By creating an entry and then immediately RFV'ing it, you're basically saying that you added a term where even you're not sure whether it exists; it's practically admitting to adding (possibly) nonexistent words. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 22:04, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Oh, wow. That was not my intention. So this is closer to a list for deletion than a place to find new citations. Well, I know that the word exists.[1][2] I'm not so familiar with citation format and which ones to include though. 73.157.135.57 22:33, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

If you don't have citations on hand, you shouldn't create the entry in the first place. Sometimes people do anyway, which is what RFV exists to rectify.__Gamren (talk) 22:07, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I've been using this list incorrectly it seems. I will try to find some citations then. There are many available on Google,[3][4] but I am not sure which are able to be used here. 73.157.135.57 22:33, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

“Wiktionary:Tea room” is probably a better place to bring up terms that you’re not sure whether entries should be created for. — SGconlaw (talk) 11:20, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Or WT:RE:en, if it's because of attestation.__Gamren (talk) 08:44, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
