Talk:armpithair
Latest comment: 11 years ago by -sche in topic RFV discussion: October 2012
definitely non standard, but i don't think it is a misspelling, it seems to follow accepted declension.Lucifer (talk) 00:23, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for verification (permalink).
This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
The first citation is obvious invalid (it runs other words together, too); the others may also be, given the now-banned contributor's habit of adding invalid citations. If this fails RFV, armpit hair will no longer be protected by COALMINE, and will be deletable as SOP. - -sche (discuss) 07:28, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- The third one is for armpit hair. As for the second one, there's no preview available. We need three citations where it's clearly armpithair and not just a scanno. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:26, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- There's [1], [2], [3] and [4]. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:44, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- I can't find armpithair in the fourth one, the other three are I suppose valid. Does this mean the term isn't attestable in print, only one Usenet, do we have an
{{Internetonly}}label or something?

Frankly, I suspect 95% of the attestations of it are cases where people simply failed to hit the space bar while typing. —Angr 07:01, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with that, I don't see how any of the cites above can be accepted as quality sources. They are all full of grammatical and spelling errrors. [1] fails to capitalize proper nouns (despite doing so correctly earlier), [2] "definetely", [3] "the fucking nerve of comming in my mouth", and [4] is invalid in any case.

- Also I note pubichair in one of the citations, which is pretty ridiculous, mostly because it looks like /pjuːbitʃɛə/. I was also gonna say they could be typos. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:01, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

- I agree with those above who discount the citations. This therefore looks like it will fail RFV soon. - -sche (discuss) 18:09, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
