RFV discussion — failed[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

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.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense: As the older name of Snickers chocolate bar. Can we find sufficient citations as a trademark to warrant inclusion? --EncycloPetey 20:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Well I cannot do the searches right now but look on w:Snickers. Also I remember that they sponsored the w:London Marathon for a few years using the brand name 'Marathon' when I was a kid. This may be a search to follow up on. Polargeo 14:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
This definitely exist as a brand name (as the article says). I could be {{rfd}} material however. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

This isn;t a question of whether the word exists. It's a question of finding citations sufficient to meet CFI for brand names. If no one provides such citations, the entry will be deleted for failing RFV. --EncycloPetey 19:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
