Request for verification

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

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.

Usage on blogs suggest that it's plausible (e.g. 'gleðikona verður afturbatapíka! enn gerast undur og stórmerki.' — 'prostitute becomes "convalescent virgin"! miracles and wonders still happen!'), and the only Google Books hit is a dictionary, which could be very useful — but that it's restricted content. — Beobach972 20:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Cross posting from my talk page

A quick Google search provides an epistle from a newspaper showing professional usage; two headlines of blog entries showing colloquial and vernacular usage (as well as usage on varius fora) and its declension is listed on the inflection lookup of the University of Iceland, resulting in academic verification. I believe that's sufficient. --BiT 00:12, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

And an ulterior verification from a different newspaper. --BiT 00:14, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
