Is this really English (i.e. without the accent on maitre)? If so, what is the correct plural? SemperBlotto 21:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- 404 hits on Google Books, English only (in theory) although an enormous amount of these are either not English or in dictionaries. It might pass rfv, I might end up going through every last page to find three. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:36, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- Cited, not only that is has a second meaning as a surgical procedure, but I can only cite it, I can't work out what it means! Mglovesfun (talk) 21:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

- As it should be. Anyway I have found some cites but I haven't added anything yet. Well, I do get a month. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:23, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Added four citations to Citations:coup de maitre, plus two more for a meaning that needs to be added (and will be). Mglovesfun (talk) 19:58, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
RFV passed; thanks for the cites, Mglovesfun! —RuakhTALK 14:39, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
