women + -'s (sense 3: Indicates a purpose or a user). Mihia (talk) 01:32, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- SoP, but many normal users won't look there. I'd bet it is more likely to be looked up than all but a few other possessive forms. DCDuring (talk) 02:30, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- Totally normal possessive. We don't include those. Deleted SemperBlotto (talk) 09:01, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- FWIW I agree this shouldn't have an entry, but I would have no objection to redirects at this and men's on the grounds that, as DCDuring says, they're probably among the most likely hyphenated forms to be looked up. - -sche (discuss) 01:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Has been recreated by another user as a noun as in "I have to excuse myself to the women's [restroom/WC] for a moment"), with a "soft redirect" of sorts for the possessive use, which seems adequate. - -sche (discuss) 19:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
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.
Adjective: "intended for use by women"
A possessive form is not an adjective. Fails tests of adjectivity. Might be better placed under the noun PoS section. DCDuring (talk) 14:33, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
