  1.   Support Nothing especially exciting here, just making sure CFI stays coherent and reflects reality. This, that and the other (talk) 07:58, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Support per my rationale on the talk page: we do evidence-based lexicography rather than reference-based lexicography. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  3.   Support. If the line is suggesting that someone should provide a reference that says "x is a misspelling" in order to persuade others that Wiktionary should have an entry for the misspelling x, then the line should be removed because that's not how Wiktionary works. As one of the preceding sentences states, "rare misspellings should be excluded while common misspellings should be included", and whether or not a misspelling is common is, as Dan says, determined by evidence and not by "references". Whereas, if the line is suggesting that someone should provide references that say "x is a standard/acceptable spelling" in order to defend x against claims that "x is a misspelling"... well, that's just common sense, and the line should be removed because that doesn't need to be spelled out, and the line does a poor (ambiguous) job of spelling it out, anyway. - -sche (discuss) 02:37, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  2.   Support The sentence is superflous, now that Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2014-04/Keeping common misspellings has passed. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  3.   Support. The line has no meaning/effect; the previous paragraph already establishes that some misspellings do merit entries; restating that sentiment in vaguer, weaker terms ("may well merit entries") is unnecessary and undesirable. - -sche (discuss) 02:37, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
