Abstain: mildly useful as a translation target. PUC – 20:15, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Keep: quarter of an hour, quarter-hour at Google Ngram Viewer suggests this is much more common than the synonym quarter-hour, and it is in Lexico[1]. And the translations, if correct, are nothing like obvious; for Czech, it is čtvrt and it might fit for the Lexico sense 1.1, but for a period of time it is čtvrthodina. I would like to see in the entry an example sentence like the one in Lexico for their subsense 1.1. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:31, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Keep per Dan. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 13:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

@Fay Freak, 幽霊四 What do you think of the THUB rationale for keeping the entry? ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 15:16, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

I wonder more why we don’t move to delete half an hour (half + accusativus mensurae) and half-hour too. We could create half a sandwich else. Fay Freak (talk) 15:29, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

@Lingo Bingo Dingo: Translations could be collected ad quarter-hour. If there are more quarter of * terms which are valid THUBs, then I might change to keep. --幽霊四 (talk) 15:50, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Fairly obvious keep, if only for the translations. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:56, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

An obvious keep, and synonym of quarter-hour. DonnanZ (talk) 16:58, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

quarter-hour can’t be kept if not quarter of an hour, as it is only a hyphenated compound and WT:COALMINE does not apply (?). And if quarter-hour has to be kept then quarter of an hour too as more idiomatic. Fay Freak (talk) 15:00, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
