stubble field

As defined, SOP, probably only because there's a one-word Italian term for it. Jin and Tonik (talk) 21:52, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

On stubble man has added other one-word translations. This is an edgecase for WT:THUB because terms for stubble and stubble-fields are contextually largely interchangeable so the need for a translation hub is questionable. Fay Freak (talk) 22:04, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, for Hungarian tarló (“stubble”) is glossed as "stubble field" at tarlórépa for example. If the Slavic cases listed at stubble's translation box (Macedonian, Polish, Serbo-Croatian) are indeed clearly distinguished then I'd lean to moving them over and keeping this as a THUB. (edit: Passes by COALMINE anyway.) —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 22:10, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

No, due to the contextual irrelevance, and in many regiolects only one or the other may be used. So for the Macedonian стрн I remember it to be hard to even get convinced about its existence, and apparently it is finally missing in Bulgarian, so as to lack in the table, although necessarily attestable from bygone centuries, and apparently indeed I added it from some obscure mention (Vasmer at least) at the Proto-Slavic page.

It's worth noting that a blind eye is turned to wheatfield and cornfield because they are compounds. But compounds are still a sum of parts. A stubble field is one in a transient state between harvesting and ploughing, and covered in stubble for a while. DonnanZ (talk) 09:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

They're explicitly exempt under WT:COALMINE since written as single words, but, good point actually, the common noun stubblefield looks well-attested and I've created the entry with various citations. Keep. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 11:11, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

We also need quotes for stubble field and stubble fields. Keep anyway. DonnanZ (talk) 12:44, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

• Keep stubble field, given that stubblefield is an attested word. bd2412 T 19:35, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

• Kept. I totally forgot the Coalmine rule Jin and Tonik (talk) 19:45, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
