President-elect

Isn't this just [[president]] + [[-elect]]? One can also speak of a "senator-elect", "chairman-elect", "attorney general-elect", etc. - -sche (discuss) 06:39, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes it is just that, but should we consider this two words, or is it one word? (Also, by the way, isn‘t attorney general “just” [[attorney]] + [[general]], sense #2)?  --Lambiam 09:52, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Keep per WT:LEMMING (“president-elect”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.), although the lemming support looks more uncertain than before: Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2018-12/Lemming principle into CFI. Apart from lemming, why should the reader look at -elect and not elect, and how should they know? “-elect”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. I think president-elect is a very convenient entry for someone looking for the meaning; if not for WT:LEMMING, I would at least suggest a redirection. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:48, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Keep president-elect, a reference added. President-elect is apparently used as a title; I suppose it can be kept but modified slightly. DonnanZ (talk) 10:52, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Abstain. I'm not bothered by this one. Per utramque cavernam 20:01, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
