The few media reports about this word that I could find were mostly mentions. Hot words still need three independent uses. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 19:04, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

I can find several mentions, and some uses in the non-durably archived comments sections of online papers, but so far only one quote on durably archived media. We might want to give this some time, however. Kiwima (talk) 22:46, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I understand the inclination, but I've always understood the hot-word status to only provide an exemption to the time span criterium. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 15:09, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
It does. It's just that it is such a recent coinage that I want to wait a little more than the usual month before failing this. Kiwima (talk) 23:01, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Kiwima What do you say about circa 3 extra months? But I'm not really happy that some other users seem to think that the hot-word template may be misused as a get-out-of-jail-free card. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 10:28, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I agree that hot-word is not a blank checque - It still requires three good citations. Kiwima (talk) 19:56, 18 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Right now we have two cites on the page. For a third, I found this, which is permanently archived, but in a primarily russian text. Does it count? Kiwima (talk) 21:00, 23 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

NM, I found a new newspaper citation. This is now cited (as a hotword). Kiwima (talk) 21:05, 23 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

RFV-passed. It may eventually have to be moved to a hyphenless spelling, but let's wait with that until the word is ready to move on from hot-word status. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:59, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

covid-related hot word. Unlikely to have survived out of 2021 Skisckis (talk) 09:02, 6 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

It continues to be used on Twitter: Citations:rat-licker. Einstein2 (talk) 10:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Passed. 5 non-Twitter uses over 2 years as well as many Twitter cites, clearly passed. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 10:54, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
