scienceman

Scientist. Seems to be creole or learner error. Equinox ◑ 14:36, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

[1], [2], [3], [4]. That’s just the singular. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 14:47, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

I went through the Google Books results. The best label for the current sense is archaic since it’s primarily obsolete but occasionally used in modern fiction. There also seems to be a distinct sense used in Afro-Caribbean religions. — Ungoliant ^(falai) 02:04, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Cited. Please consider a) whether a label should be added and b) whether or not a "scienceman" is necessarily male, in which case the def needs to be corrected.__Gamren (talk) 10:35, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
