Sum of parts. kǎo (verb) (“roast”) + páigǔ (“sparerib”). Absolutely no hits on Google or Google Books anyway. ---> Tooironic 12:48, 24 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Send to RFV then. But IMO keep w.r.t. the claim of SOP: since we keep Mandarin pinyin, and since pinyin puts spaces between words, any word spelled joined-up should be treated like any word spelled joined-up in any other language that puts spaces between words, i.e. kept. However I write this without a knowledge of how pinyin works, really, so maybe I'm missing something.​—msh210 (talk) 19:04, 25 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

rfd debate ended in a no consensus, but apparently it's not attested anyway. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:40, 11 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Absolute zero hits on the web, apart from Wiktionary. But... don't we allow pinyin when the Chinese character form is valid? Problem is since we don't have a Chinese character version for this, no real way of saying if it's valid or not. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:33, 11 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
