• Delete and merge to Wiktionary.--Ed^{talk c E} 22:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as patent nonsense. Gazpacho 23:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Longest word in English and delete (or redirect because if anybody types that in they deserve to get to a page) - Yomangani^talk 23:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge — and I guess redirect, even though it seems unlikely anyone would type this. JChap2007 03:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep This is a very notable word - more than just dictionary definition. There are so few of these recognised "longest" words; it's not as if there are hundreds of articles made for them. A claimant to the longest word in the English language has a high degree of notability. At the moment it's a stub, yes, but I am sure it can be expanded to include the exact circumstances under which the word was first used, and to give a break-down of the component attributes of the water which comprise the sub-sections of the word. Hey, maybe I'll do this myself sometime: but give it a chance. EuroSong ^talk 22:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge — per JChap2007 and Yomangani Martinp23 22:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect Yomangani is right, if someone types that in, they definitely deserve to have some info about it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leroyencyclopediabrown (talk • contribs) . Jaedza 05:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect per Yomangani. May be good idea to include a pronunciation key for it where ever it may end up. Jaedza 05:11, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge. Dictionary definition, notable word. --Gray Porpoise 16:15, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as dicdef, neologism, something made up in school one day back in the 18th-Century. Not listed in the Oxford English Dictionary; the reference to the AskOxford website states the word is made-up, and not in common use, and refers to the invention of such words as a "common verbal game". Yes, I see the irony in nominating a word invented in the 18th Century as neologism, but the fact someone has an old edition of the Guinness book is not a factor here.

• Merge to Longest word in English and redirect. --Zoz (t) 12:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Looks just plain bogus, and even if genuine should be superceded by supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ;-) Chris CII 13:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• "Long" words are not rare: for example, every single protein sequence has a very long systematic name that is no more, and no less, a legitimate English word than this word. If this word can be attested to as signficant by multiple reliable, verifiable sources, merge to Longest word in English and redirect: otherwise, delete. -- The Anome 13:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• delete : According to Oxford Dictionnary[1], this is not the longest word in English (they think that chemical particles doesn't count). Lucasbfr 13:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Yomangani. I think the fact that one dictionary doesn't count it isn't a reason to merge. Daniel.Bryant 13:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
