[Relocated from RFD.] This seems to just be an analogic usage and not a real word. —JohnC5 01:25, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
- How do you feel about Citizen Kane and John Travolta? Siuenti (talk) 12:49, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

- "All words in all languages". What's to verify? "Citizen Cane" and "John Travolta" are not words. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:01, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- But, of course, the definition is wrong. It is a proper noun identifying a single person. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:04, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- The entry isn't one big typo. It's clearly claiming that you can be "an Eminem", like an Einstein or a Sherlock Holmes. Equinox ◑ 19:37, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- Does anyone have any citations to prove that it is further lexicalized beyond the analogic usage? —JohnC5 21:57, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Now PapiDimmi has now added Eminems. I'd like to see a fair bit more proof, or I say both of these entries should be deleted. —JohnC5 01:07, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- Plural use on Forbes, the Evening Standard, MTV, the Worcester Telegram and Billboard seems all analogical to me as well. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:55, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
