Holds for currency requirements

What counts as a hold to fit that vaguely worded
requirement?

Inline for what I would count towards the requirement for my logbook:

- A self-assigned hold while flying solo VFR in VMC?

No. To me, this is similar to flying an ILS solo while in VMC. With the
responsibility for traffic spotting solely on me, I cannot use the gauges
enough to benefit from the exercise.

- A self-assigned hold while flying under foggles with a safety pilot
while VFR in VMC?

Yes.

- A self-assigned hold while flying under foggles with a CFII
while IFR in VMC?

Yes.

- A controller assigned hold while IFR in VMC?

Yes.

- A controller assigned hold while IFR in IMC?

Yes.

- A hold on a PC-ATD?

I don't have access to a certified simulator so I do not know.

Also, what constitutes a hold?

In this case, I look at it from the PoV of what demonstrates to me that I
am proficient at a hold. Thus, I consider the entry and at least one full
circuit (for wind/time correction).
