Fuppes

Looks spurious, also as Maria Besse, Britter Wörterbuch. Moselfränkischer Dialekt am "Tor zum Hochwald" has "Fuppes m. .. dummes Zeug, Unsinn ..". Super Teddy 3 (talk) 19:58, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

I don’t think it is spurious. See the following article on the website of Welt (not Die Welt): “Über Fuppes, beömmeln und den Muckefuck”. The tentative etymologies given in the article have nothing in common with the one in our entry, but the sense and regional identification agree.  --Lambiam 12:04, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

@Lambiam, Super Teddy 3 I'd say this one is cited, but we may consider moving Die Welt into the etymology section. Alexis Jazz (talk) 01:58, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't know if there is a procedure for contesting a closed rfv, but simply reinstating the tag should not be it. See also Wiktionary:Tea room § Regional German Fuppes ("football"). For establishing in the etymology section that this is not simply dialect, this page from the Rhineland Mitmachwörterbuch can be a second reference. (The article is not dated, but this was "word of the month" in May and June 2018.)  --Lambiam 09:22, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

@Lambian: Please read the part about "Closing a request", especially this part: "“cited” for more than a week without challenge, the discussion may be closed": It wasn't cited for more than a week, and thus it wasn't closed correctly. Additionaly, one of the three cites wasn't even a usage but only a mentioning which isn't sufficient (WT:CFI#Attestation), so it wasn't even cited in the first place.

@Alexis: Additional mentionings can also be next to the usages. It doesn't count for attestation, but can give further information nontheless.

Now it's indeed more or less cited. It could be questioned if Tonight is really durably archived, but well. (en.wp, de.wp, tonight.de sound like it isn't.) — This unsigned comment was added by 2003:DE:371C:3D52:F002:102E:8593:BFEA (talk) at 10:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC).

Closed, as it appears to have been cited for a long time now. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 10:42, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
