About half the ~40 sentences were for sense 4. I've made them sense 5, but maybe that sense should be higher.

koj daij gg5 mk

Nobody else splits "paternal blood;lineage" from "progeny" and some even have "sperm" in with one or two of those meanings but I thought it would be weird to combine them all. But maybe somebody else can come up with something better that works with just 2 senses.

the "cause/source" sense ended up being moved from 4 to 5 - I tried my best to keep it as it was but since I think the 3 closely related senses (3,4,5) should come together, I had to nudge it.  (but if somebody else can reduce 3,4,5 to 2 senses instead of 3, it won't move).

I removed "kind, variety, quality, tone" glosses that were in sense 1entirely, not really sure where they came from.

I think we did decide (at some point...) to 
mainly look at the kokugos when it comes to 
tagging things as vs or not.

Both the references I quoted (one for each sense) had early ～する glosses/examples.

This isn't vs in the kokugos and there's not much support for it in the n-grams either. Plenty of examples on Twitter of sense 2 being used with する so I suggest restricting the vs tag to that sense.

Google hits for ボツった are overwhelmingly about shelved artwork and drafts, the outlier here is "to cancel plans" that has 1 example in the original submission above.

The common thread seems to be something you spent some time on but was unhappy with the result and decided to throw it away.


If I may suggest a rework of this entry:
[1][v5r][col][see=1521960・没[2]]
  to scrap (esp. an illustration); to reject; to shelve; to cancel (plans, etc.)

No-one seems to want to touch this. The 実用日本語表現辞典 explanation seems fairly close to the current meaning. I'll tweak a little and close.
