The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Translingual, not English. And I thought we were deleted stuff like this. --Yesyesandmaybe (talk) 13:53, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- There was an earlier discussion at Wiktionary:Tea room/2019/September#Units X per Y, but it was somewhat inconclusive as to whether the soppiness of such formulas is covered by the SOP clause of our CFI. We do have an entry E=mc², which by the way looks horrid to me in non-italic font and without proper spacing. These spaces are like a canary in a coalmine: they depart from this physical plane and then the term is considered includable. --Lambiam 18:28, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- See also Wiktionary:Requests for deletion/English#mg/dl. I say, Delete all. --Lambiam 11:23, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- Just to note that we also have e.g. m/s, m², m³, cm³, km², and most probably others too, possibly on the basis that these are defined characters in Unicode (㎧, ㎡, ㎥, ㎤, ㎢), which we redirect to the "plaintext" versions. ㎨ is a case where there is no redirect. Is it our policy to have entries for all Unicode characters? If so, the content at e.g. m/s would presumably need to be moved to ㎧ should the former be deleted.

- We have entries for many Unicode characters, including quite a few for which I have no idea how one would use them (e.g. ⌒ “arc”, or ⧝ “tie over infinity”). I have no objection to having entries for the Unicode characters ㎧ etc., which is preferable IMO to having them be redirects. --Lambiam 22:27, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete, the slash is sufficient indication to a reader of this string that the parts should be looked up separately, I think. (Even Unicode apparently only encodes ㎧ and ㎥, but not this combination. - -sche (discuss) 16:20, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete, as SOP (/, sense per), but only if similar terms such as µg/l, µg/day (and more in Category:English terms spelled with /, Category:Translingual terms spelled with /) are treated the same way. --幽霊四 (talk) 14:46, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
