When you create an entry and later realize it was a mistake, you can tag it for speedy deletion with {{d}} rather than {{rfd}}. This only applies to pages you've created that don't have significant additions made by other users. When adding the template, please include a brief rationale such as {{d|created in error}}. With that in mind, I think I can close most if not all of the WT:RFD requests you've made.
Also, when moving pages, please tag the redirect page that's created for speedy deletion.
Finally, please note the format change I've made here: diff. Ultimateria (talk) 21:03, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
You misspelled this. I moved the page. Note, also, that you formatted the "rhymes" template incorrectly in that page. Polomo47 (talk) 22:21, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
I can see you are taking effort to make sure entries you make are of high quality - this is commendable! It's still recommended to stick to languages you are more familiar with. Don't be afraid to use things such as requested entries, and the like! Overall, keep up the good work. Vininn126 (talk) 19:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi - the point of non-lemmas is that they aren't the main entry (i.e. the lemma), so we categorise them separately so as to not flood the primary categories with entries that people aren't interested in. In languages with a large historic corpus, like Latin, we will almost always lemmatise at the same forms (nominative singular for nouns, the first-person singular present active indicative for verbs etc), even if a term is only attested in a different form, because we know enough about Latin to know that those forms existed. Deviations from this are also standardised (e.g. plural-only nouns, impersonal verbs, certain defective verbs etc.).
When it comes to little-attested languages like Volscian and Sicel, we have so little information to go from that we only create entries for the terms that are actually attested, because there is no way to reliably reconstruct the standard forms. However, that doesn't mean that these are non-lemma entries, because the "lemma form" is an arbitrary (albeit very useful) choice that we make so as to standardise entries for the sake of consistency and convenience. Given the only attestation we have for the Volscian word for "wine" is 𐌖𐌉𐌍𐌖 (uinu, ablative singular), there's nothing wrong with us lemmatising the word there, just like there would be nothing lexically wrong with lemmatising all of our Latin nouns at the ablative singular either.
