I think that this is not a lemma but rather a sum of parts LinguisticMystic (talk) 17:20, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Not sure, weak delete. There is also Körnchen Realität, but as well kernel of reality. And we have English entries grain of truth and with a grain of salt, inconsistently, against Körnchen Salz. Fay Freak (talk) 16:58, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as strong collocation. I don't think we can replace Wahrheit with related nouns (**Körnchen Lüge, **Körnchen Wissen, **Körnchen Sicherheit; not even **Körnchen Unwahrheit, unless for comical effect). One can replace Körnchen with Stück or Stückchen, but this is less idiomatic than Körnchen Wahrheit. –Austronesier (talk) 19:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- There're also Fünkchen Wahrheit, Funken Wahrheit, Quentchen Wahrheit (Quäntchen Wahrheit), Tropfen Wahrheit, Tröpfchen Wahrheit. Hence: Delete, but add an example or a note to Wahrheit, unless this word can be exchanged in a similar way. --學者三 (talk) 21:02, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I think there are a few idioms, and also I don't really see how it's SOP. Truth is a countable thing that comes in kernels now? Vininn126 (talk) 21:05, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep for now. I've added some more collocations to Wahrheit. It's true that Wahrheit can be combined with different "small-thing nouns" (as 學者三 rightly points out) but, as Austronesier explains, Körnchen cannot be combined at will with other related nouns. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 12:50, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep.
RFD-kept, as with my vote it's 4-2 (or 3½-1½). —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 01:37, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
