[edit] Requested move

  • Support. This article is about the tricontagon (30 sides,) not the tricosagon (300 sides.) Georgia guy 19:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Very strongly oppose Same root as Icosagon. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. The icosagon is a 20-sided figure. The name is not dicosagon. The name of the 30-sided figure is tricontagon, just as every web site that brings up the answer to this question agrees. Georgia guy 22:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Yes, Icosagon comes from Greek eikosi, "twenty"; there is no dikosi. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
        • And, what do you think is the Greek prefix for 30?? Every source says "triconta", not "tricosa". Do an appropriate Google search. Georgia guy 23:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Support and keep as a separate article. Nardman1 21:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Furthermore, this article is not notable. This was spared at AFD only because of the factoid about Michelob, now in Prism (geometry). Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I propose to settle this by putting back the redirect, which was only removed due to a misunderstanding of AfD policy. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 00:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
