Talk:troid
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
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.
The three quotes given are not durable. This meaning does not show up in the first 10 pages of my googling of "troids". Seems to be the dominant use of "troids" on Twitter, although that isn't saying much.--Simplificationalizer (talk) 02:06, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- CFI has never explicitly precluded online sources. It was just commonly interpreted that way for a long time due to unclear wording. A recent vote updated CFI to explicitly allow online sources for attestation provided editors reach a consensus through "discussion lasting at least two weeks." It's unclear whether that means a two-week discussion to consider each online source (e.g. one for Twitter, one for Reddit, etc.) or every single term attested with online sources. The latter would be an unnecessary and obstructionist consumption of editors' limited time.
- In any case, I'm satisfied with the provided citations. WordyAndNerdy (talk) 20:09, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I have provided a vote for accepting the citations here. Kiwima (talk) 02:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
The vote failed, so I am marking this as RFV-failed. However, I imagine it could be reopened if more cites could be found, especially if the cites were to offer enough context to actually confirm the meaning of the term. This, that and the other (talk) 01:52, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Note: re-added[edit]
The sense mentioned above was re-added in August, and new Twitter citations spanning two years were also added at the same time. In my view some of the citations do provide enough context to judge the meaning (especially CoolAndGood and Pellazg), although it's unclear whether they adequately address the concerns of those who voted (e.g., it seems like -sche was opposed to citing Twitter in general, while TTO was more concerned with the details of the particular quotations). 70.172.194.25 03:01, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
