nonce word, used just once by Thomas More MooreDoor (talk) 21:28, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. We keep nonce words used by famous writers. ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 21:49, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- We used to, but we don't anymore (anyMore?). Chuck Entz (talk) 22:35, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- We don't really need a nonce word exception because everyone copies the famous writers. So RFV is the right call. DAVilla 08:02, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

- Send to RFV. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 02:14, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- As Chuck says, we don't any more. (I put a space in "any more" because I'm an excellent Englishman.) This should be an RFV though, since surely you are asking to find three cites. Equinox ◑ 08:21, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- When and why was this (not keeping nonces) changed? – Jberkel 12:46, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Move to RFV, although it may fail there and so be deleted all the same. I can find "new-fangledly, not old-fangledly" in some translations of Nietzsche, so perhaps others have used "newfangly". - -sche (discuss) 21:51, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

- These Usenet uses exist, but are clearly adjectival rather than adverbial: [1], [2]. 70.172.194.25 08:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
RFV-resolved. Converted to adjective. Kiwima (talk) 22:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
