The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Unit of time#List. There's clear consensus that this isn't notable and is functionally just a definition. There is good cause for a redirect, but it's currently an even split. Rather than extended for a week just to settle the redirect issue, since I'm not sure if a cross-wiki redirect is viable under policy and there's a viable regular target, I've selected the unit of time.

If individuals want to further discuss that on the redirect's talk page (or another appropriate forum) then, subject to policy, that's fine. Nosebagbear (talk) 13:10, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:DICDEF. The article is basically a dictionary definition and can't conceivably be expanded beyond that. (Similarly, we don't have an article for biennium, though there is a disambiguation page.) 207.161.86.162 (talk) 06:17, 27 October 2021 (UTC) Per request at WT:AFD, nominated pro forma on behalf of the above IP by Extraordinary Writ (talk) at 03:35, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, agree that this is basically just a dicdef. My search didn't turn up anything else on which an article could be built - just people using the term for its literal meaning of "four years". FOARP (talk) 10:44, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: Change the page's contents to use {{wiktionary redirect}} as the term is uncommon enough and linked from a range of pages . ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 06:45, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Unit of time? It's already listed there. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:15, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happy with this. There's a brief section on Quadrennium at Olympiad#Quadrennium, but probably shouldn't redirect there given that the term is not exclusively used for the Olympics. Also happy for the term to be replaced with plain english where it just means four years and doesn't have the technical sense that the Olympics apparently uses. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 02:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
