RFV discussion: March–April 2020

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.

olca

Turkish. Tagged but not listed. Old Man Consequences (talk) 13:58, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Not listed in the authoritative dictionary of the TDK. The Turkish Wikipedia has it, but only as a Turkmen noun (with the same meaning as given here: “booty”.  --Lambiam 19:02, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

We have a longstanding problem of language purists asserting that words from other Turkic languages are also Turkish, especially but not exclusively if they replace a loanword; this entry was created by a user who also created some other terms which have failed RFV, such as varanak and sunultay (as I found by perusing the user's "deleted user contributions"). Someone who speaks Turkish may wish to look over the user's other contributions. - -sche (discuss) 07:59, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

I found two other dubious creations: silmetaş, which was also tagged for verification by the same user who flagged olca but not listed at RfV, and dölcük. While not copied from other languages, these are purist neologisms. I have now listed both.  --Lambiam 16:31, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
