Talk:patch pocket
RFV discussion[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:
- A flat, imitation pocket fixed to the outside of a garment as decoration.
Other dictionaries seem to define "patch pocket" as a true pocket made out of a piece of textile sewn on the outside a garment. Added this sense already. The terms used in the web for an imitation pocket include "decorative pocket", "fake pocket" and "false pocket". Should any of these be made an entry? --Hekaheka 06:57, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Your definition seems better and not obviously NISoP.
- But, if "patch pocket" is used to mean a "pocket that is not a pocket (false), merely decorative", then, by the misnomer principle, it also seems to be non-NISoP and thereby includable in that sense. The other terms don't seem to me to be misnomers and entries don't seem warranted IMHO. DCDuring TALK 20:27, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Due to lack of defenders, removed disputed sense. --Hekaheka 09:46, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
