No point in having 0 ngram versions in this entry. 
サラリー-マン in most kokugos so サラリー・マン is OK to keep for "compatibility purposes," I think.

We don't do notes that pertain to the English glosses rather than the Japanese word normally. (and I strongly think we shouldn't, it can easily lead to misunderstandinga)
