OK, but I'll propose レブル for jmnedict as it's the Honda "Rebel" motorbike, which is probably where its n-grams count originates.

daij, koj

I think レブル can go. It's not in the refs and most online hits are irrelevant.
The kokugos have a "水平面。水平線" sense but it's not adjectival so I've dropped sense 4 and made a new (broader) sense using some of the sense 1 glosses.

I am inclined to agree. I can't see evidence of ダテ being used that much.

would it make sense, then, to remove the katakana reading?

I'm not seeing why it is included, and the instances I find on the www lead me to believe the katakana version is only used for stylistic effect (that is, to make the word stand out while avoiding kanji in hiragana-heavy sentences) or possibly because the writers feel their meaning is slangy (plausible for gloss #2); nevertheless, the katakana version is quite a bit more rare than both the kanji and hiragana versions.

* Add alt readings (saw as はぞう at museum (listed in 
daijs), and dicts list many variants)
* Add rare kanji 𤭯
* Link to 盥 for second meaning, as that’s the more usual 
term, and they’re used together (and it’s confusing; v.i.).
This is a bit confusing – たらい means the basin, while はんぞ
う means both the pot, but also, confusingly (in 
daijr/daijs), the basin. See koj for はんぞうたらい, of which 
this sense is probably an abbreviation.
Museum translated it as “ewer”, which seems too specific and 
misleading (it’s like a tea pot or 湯桶, not a wide-mouthed 
ewer).

(I meant sense 1 of とまる.) Yes, I agree. A native speaker has commented on Tatoeba that they are all とまる. I think I'll just close this off, and if anyone points out that sentence X is better as やまる, I'll change it.

i would guess that most example sentences are とまる.

Yes, at the time the sentences were linked there was only one 止まる entry. It is now split into 3. I have modified the indices; connecting them to either とまる or とどまる. I can't easily work out which should be とまる sense 2 or やまる sense 2, so at present やまる is missing out.
