When I started looking at these edits my first thought was "why do we still have this?" It's from a range of entries which were added in bulk about 15 years aho which turned out to have a lot of very obvious constructions. I think it may as well stay now, given the Tanaka linkages (I don't want to have to go and reconstruct them.) As for 家をたてる, I think it should stay. This data is used by several text-glossing systems, and having variant surface forms for these sorts of expressions helps them quite a bit. I wouldn't lose sleep if it went, as it's ~0.5% of usage, but it's harmless.

But you might be right about adding 家をたてる.
A few weeks ago I wrote a script that matches the Tanaka corpus against JMDict and reports discrepancies.
I have been using that to add prio tags, add and remove [uk] tags, add missing surface forms, etc.
But maybe I've reached the bottom of the barrel now.

Is it really necessary to acknowledge the kana form of 建てる? It's an extremely common word and I would put 99% of instances of 家をたてる down to 変換ミス. The same goes for similar entries.

I'm not even sure this entry should exist at all. Since when has "build a house" been considered an expression? Is it any more noteworthy than "build a shed"?
