drafty

I'm not an American, so I don't know, but Oxford does list draftier and draftiest as comparatives. Maybe the definition needs revising as well. Donnanz (talk) 13:32, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Keep, drafty is in widespread use. Renard Migrant (talk) 13:53, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

RFD is the place for deletions, and I'm not questioning the entry, just the content. Donnanz (talk) 14:03, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Draughty redirects to drafty, so it is doubly important to have the definition right, let alone the comparatives. Donnanz (talk) 14:10, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

It's one of the two places! Uncited entries get deleted after 30 days, I oppose the deletion of the entry 'drafty'. Strong keep. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:04, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand. Are you looking for attesting quotations, do you want to discuss whether the comparative and superlative forms are correct, or is there some other reason you're posting here? —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 14:07, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

It's a common mistake if you haven't read Wiktionary:Requests for verification/Header; people tag entries for synonyms and pronunciation sections without even realizing they are potentially going to get entries deleted. #Cup Final above for example failed.

• I suggest that you all read the reason for this RFV properly. But if you feel it's an RFC matter, move it there. I'm not looking for quotations, just verification of comparatives etc. by native American users, not pseudo-American ones. Donnanz (talk) 14:26, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

I suggest you read Wiktionary:Requests for verification/Header properly! RFV is for verifying or deleting entries! Renard Migrant (talk) 14:34, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

• I expanded the definition myself, due to too much interference by you-know-who. Donnanz (talk) 15:18, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
