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.

Really only seeing one use in BGC, in reference to Roman Jakobson, and some are defining it as a belief rather than an ability. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:08, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Even if someone uses it in writing, it's a phonotactic train wreck- I doubt most English speakers would be able to say it out loud without training and/or careful practice. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- I have added the one cite to the citations page. Other than that, as @Metaknowledge points out, it is only mentions rather than uses. It was apparently coined in 1896 in something called Mr. Myer's Glossary. Kiwima (talk) 20:10, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

This wasn't my request. I'm copying it here, because RFV-failed words should not generally be added at REE.
- panmnesia - OneLook - Google (Books • Groups • Scholar) - WP Library – (previously deleted; see the talk page) supposed to be the opposite of amnesia, with pan- instead of a-, meaning more or less "the ability to remember everything". The word seems to have somewhat of a cult following, being used on numerous personal blogs, in YouTube videos, and within superhero/comic fandoms (along with some more fringe communities like this, and recent new-age spiritual movements). A primary reason for its deletion was that it is almost never used, only mentioned, which I don't dispute. (Many of its occurrences are either a definition or a mention of it as an example of a quirky word with silent ⟨m⟩, as here.) Its supposed pronunciation as /ˌpænˈniʒə/ is supported by Webster.
