RFV discussion: February–April 2022[edit]

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.


Surely this is German. There is a citations page, but the word is mostly italicised (indicating a foreign term is being quoted) and also has all kinds of variant forms with hyphens etc. We have nothing like three uses of this word in English, thus spelled.

Looks like English-speaking journos showing off their grasp of German. -Versteher is a modish form that can be attached to all sorts of nouns, perhaps originally in Frauenversteher. – Jberkel 11:19, 28 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

RFV-failed - the italics or scare quotes mark this as code-switching. Kiwima (talk) 03:10, 18 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
