Rfv-sense "abbreviation of Fujian province". Quite possible, as it would be the transliteration of the Mandarin sans tones, but I'm not sure it actually exists in durably archived media. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:58, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- A rough Google Books search is sufficient to verify this: [1][2][3][4]. 129.78.32.21 04:16, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- One of the links I can't view, two of them fail the use-mention distinction (must be uses, not mentions), and one of them is good. So we still need two more. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:28, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

- They both appear to be using a different sense from this. The first one is referring to the language, the second one to the people. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:10, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- You don't even seem interested in finding some quotations yourself. If you are only using this as a way of nitpicking anon edits, using your own far-fetched version of the attestation criteria, then I can gladly revert my change and I'd like to rfv-sense all senses in Min#English. 129.78.32.21 05:25, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- I probably will, I just feel like working with a different language right now. It's not my "own far-fetched version", honestly, it is our standard procedure. I think that you realize yourself that RFVing every sense is being a troll... but since you've done that, I guess we'll cite 'em. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:41, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'd tend to say the 2nd, 3rd and 4th links are not mentions. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:21, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

- Cited. I also removed “abbreviation” from the definition. How would Fujian abbreviate into Min? They’re different words with different origins. — Ungoliant (Falai) 05:35, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
