[edit] Sesquapedalian

Sesquapedalian (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is a dictionary defintion with the main entry misspelled (it should be "sequipedalian"). Sesquipedalian exists but as a redirect to Longest word in English, but I don't know how useful a redirect that is given that the word "sesquipedalian" is not actually used in the text of Longest word in English. I submitted this for a proposed deletion but the article creator removed the PROD tag. I recommend a delete. Metropolitan90 17:10, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete It's already in Wiktionary, and "sesquipedalian" does not mean "longest word in English" but "talking using longer words than are necessary" (long words are often necessary), so I agree a redirect to that article makes no sense. --Charlene 17:14, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
• Agree to deletion - as creator I have considered the advice herein and have decided that as it exists in the Wikidictionary, it is unneeded as an article. However I am not the one who created the redirect. I know it is not the longest word in English (isn't the longest word antidisestablishmentarianism", anyway?).
