[edit] Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcano-coniosis

Longest word in the English language. Yawn. Thatcher131 04:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Oh crud The article Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis already exists. (I searched old AfDs because I thought I remembered it there but didn't search the main article space.) Seems to be an unlikely term for redirect with the oddly-placed hyphen. Should we delete it here or make it a redirect (in which case I will probably send it to RfD)?

• Merge to some sort of list of other ridiculously long words. Otherwise, Delete. NN and has no place in the Guiness Book article. Mystache 04:36, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I thought the hyphen looked odd. I cant see why one would type that. Mystache 05:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into it's more common spelling Pneumoconiosis.--Dakota ~ 04:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Longest word in English, it's already covered there. porges 05:05, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Longest word in English. --Terence Ong 05:05, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Longest word in English. SorryGuy 05:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete People who search for this are not going to use the hyphen. I've never seen it with a hyphen before. Danny Lilithborne 06:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no merge or redirect. --Arnzy (Talk) 09:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (rather than Longest word in English). The hyphen may look odd, but somebody obviously though it worth creating at this title, and it'd be harmless as a redirect. — sjorford (talk) 12:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, there is no hyphen and as pointed out above this already exists at Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.--Isotope23 16:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as an unlikely typo, but it's fine if it ends up being a redirect to Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. -- Mithent 18:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Redirects are cheap. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 19:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Danny Lilithborne. There are lots of other possible hyphenated redirects; none of them are needed. Slowmover 22:41, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
