RFV discussion: January–March 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.

A perennial problem, the fact that people don't write much about Wiktionary in many languages... —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:48, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Plenty on Google Groups; added 3 examples to the entry so it is now adequately cited. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 10:08, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

@Mnemosientje: This may have to be reviewed, but I believe that our current practice is that Usenet as archived by Google Groups is good, but Google Groups themselves are not. (Whether this actually makes sense in terms of how easily they can be removed, I do not know.) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

It is? I wasn't aware, and have used Google Groups as a source a few times in the past. That makes it even more difficult to attest a lot of modern slang and newer coinages in various languages, as it is effectively the only internet forum I thought was considered durably archived. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 16:13, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

My view is the same; whenever Usenet and Google Groups are mentioned together on policy pages, only Usenet is considered durably archived, and it is certainly possible for authors and owners of a Google Group to delete messages. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 10:33, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
