[edit] Ambiquin

dictionary-def (not a great one). Only 7 googles (6 distinct, one of those is us). Rest don't seem relevant. non-notable. (valid?). We could transwiki to wiktionary but I don't think they'd want it and could do a better job, so I propose just delete RJFJR 03:42, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

• 7? I get 3. Wiktionary would want evidence that this is a word. I cannot find any. Since it isn't a word, it cannot represent the concept that it purports to describe. At best this is a move to some more appropriate title and delete redirect. However, I'm not convinced that there's a concept here, either. All graphic representations of words can be read from different orientations. (Consider: Have you ever read something viewed upside down? Is that not "reading from a different orientation"?) If the concept is different to this, there's not enough context in this article to explain what that concept actually is. Perhaps the author is thinking of ambigram, a more specific concept (see the article). We have an article on that, and there's no need for a redirect from this non-word to that article. Delete.
