Needs usage that meets WT:FICTION. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:46, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Such usage exists: [1], [2], [3]. The definition needs some loosening, though; it is good enough for similes, as in the last of these uses, but not for metaphorical use as when addressing an obelisk as “forlorn Struldbrug”. So we need a change that results in the extension of the loosened concept overlapping with but not including all of the denotations of the pre-loosened concept.  --Lambiam 15:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

RFV-resolved. Passed as amended. Kiwima (talk) 07:57, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
