Yes, others’ is the plural possessive. —Stephen 23:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes, delete, anagrams and all. It's been here since 2005 though. DonnanZ (talk) 14:40, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
A usage note at others may be useful though, pointing out that others and other's shouldn't be confused. DonnanZ (talk) 14:48, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Deleted; usage note at others added. — SMUconlaw (talk) 19:43, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
