I am putting citations of other forms of this expression (e.g. "tofu-dregs construction") at Talk:tofu-dregs. - -sche (discuss) 23:12, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

- I put what I could find at Citations:tofu-dreg project; most uses are in quotation marks but there seem to be enough. (Definition may need tweaking.) - -sche (discuss) 04:20, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- It seems like the core of the expression is "tofu-dreg(s)", which gets expanded on in a number of ways, including tofu-dreg project, tofu-dreg construction, tofu-dregs engineering, tofu dregs schoolhouses, etc, although only a few variations are thrice-attested: see Talk:tofu-dregs. So the question arises, should we have entries for each attested variant, or redirect these to tofu-dreg/tofu dregs? - -sche (discuss) 23:22, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- Make an entry for tofu-dreg and have this and the others as usexes or collocations. --General Vicinity (talk) 08:34, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Isn't this more a case for RFD or RFC? The term is cited, it is just that it should probably be under "tofu-dreg". Kiwima (talk) 08:24, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- It's cited now (it wasn't when the term was RFVed).
Based on the other phrases I can find citations for, it seems like the idiomatic element the citations attest is "tofu-dreg(s)" ("tofu-dreg project" which is just one of many possible collocations), so I've boldly redirected it to tofu-dreg. (If anyone thinks this is wrong, then yes, we can move to RFD; otherwise, this can be resolved right here.) - -sche (discuss) 08:56, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
