Multivalent / Polyvalent
editMultivalent and Polyvalent are both disambiguation pages, each pointing at the other. I guess something should be done about this? Jeodesic 00:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's not really clear that there should be articles on either of them. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Straightforward explanation of words belongs at Wiktionary, not in Wikipedia.--Srleffler (talk) 17:23, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Hybrid disambiguation and dictionary definition
editThis page in its current form blends some element of a disambiguation page and elements of a dictionary entry. It gives a description of polyvalence in chemistry (which is already covered better at Valence (chemistry)) and then lists some pages that contain, or are sometimes discussed with, the word "polyvalent".
Wikipedia articles should be arranged by topic, not by words used to denote those topics, as described at Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary#Overview: encyclopedia vs dictionary. Putting these five topics together is therefore inappropriate. I'm not certain whether it would be better to recreate this page as a proper disambiguation page or to simply redirect it to Valence (chemistry), though I am leaning toward the former notion. Do others have thoughts? Cnilep (talk) 07:30, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- I like the idea of using this as a disambiguation page. — Ƶ§œš¹ [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 13:18, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
