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.
Does anyone Luafy things except for us? DTLHS (talk) 03:58, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- A google group (openresty-en) uses it three times, but is not a Usenet group, contra our citation. I didn't find it in books. DCDuring (talk) 13:59, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- @PseudoSkull, the creator, should know better. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:24, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge Before I created the entry, I looked on Google Groups not just for the main lemma, but for its non-lemma forms too (i.e. "Luafies", "Luafied", and "Luafying"). At that time I do recall being able to find at least 3 examples of its usage, and several mentions. Please criticize the entry and not the user, as this is more constructive. Editors tend to make mistakes for at least valid reasons (that is, if this ends up failing RFV, then it was a mistake). Perhaps I should start creating entries by citing them first to avoid this issue, though it is not required, so people can see the thought process behind it.

- It's good to look for all the forms. But Google groups includes both Usenet groups and groups that are Google specific. You can often tell from the structure of the group name in which type the group in which the citation appears. If you can't tell from the name, click on the name and then on "About". If it's a usenet group, "Usenet" will appear the page next to "Access". DCDuring (talk) 19:33, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

RFV-failed, which is sad, because it clearly is used, just not on permanently archived media. Kiwima (talk) 11:34, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
