Not sure whom you're addressing, h--entries can't be deleted as the site currently works. Wordies usually just tag them as misspellings (if that's what they are), or we refer them to Yarb's adoption agency. We even have an older adoption list for long-ago orphans.

They could be tagged as typos as well, or as ghosted if there is madeupical potential.

I was going to say... just de-list it and it will be ghosted. Then someone (invariably) will find it and adopt it, or... you know. It'll be out there.
But I think you're underestimating the usefulness of this phrase. It could mean the Day of Carp. Maybe it was an ancient festival of fish, or something.
You never know.

Or maybe it was a testament to the transitory lives of carp, but with an extra M accidentally added.
You never know.

Fried Fish Friday in the deli of my local grocery store. While not a true Carp Day, it was, nonetheless, a fish day - Ictalurus diem, perhaps? (Yes, Ictalurus is Greek, not Latin)

If; but this is a misspelling of carpe diem, so you want carpe jugulum (available from all good booksellers).
