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.
Rfv-sense- A refusal to recognize unpleasant realities. This corresponds to "denial" as in the expression "to be in denial" but not (to my knowledge) to "self-denial". If this sense is to be retained, some citations illustrating it should be added. Aabull2016 (talk) 05:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- I did find a couple of hits for "is in self-denial about", and there probably are enough citables of this type for the sense to technically scrape through RFV -- question is, is it a valid use or just an error for "in denial". Mihia (talk) 08:55, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Possibly the entry could be more broad, for example here, in a more religious and possibly sexual sense. DTLHS (talk) 19:55, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Would that help the present RFV though? Mihia (talk) 22:09, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
