Polyking → Polyplet – Both Wolfram MathWorld and LifeWiki use this term, not “polyking”. 165.91.13.38 (talk) 18:53, 5 December 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. bd2412  T 21:20, 12 December 2017 (UTC)  --Relisted.   Paine Ellsworth   put'r there 21:00, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Neither: move to pseudo-polyomino. I don't consider either MathWorld or LifeWiki to be a reliable source for this term. Our only reliable source in this article, Golomb, calls them pseudo-polyominos. (I just removed another source listed as a footnote which doesn't consider the topic of this article at all.) Although I found some unpublished preprints in Google scholar that use the polyplet terminology, the same word "polyplet" was also used in other papers to mean unrelated things     and in one of these meanings apparently goes back to the work of William Rowan Hamilton . So it's too ambiguous and too poorly supported by reliable sources to be a good title. Polyking is even more poorly sourced, though, so of the three options it is my least favorite. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:17, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Move to pseudo-polyomino. For the reasons given by David. Also, both "Polyplet" and "Polyking" do not give any indication on the content of the article, while "pseudo-polyomino" shows a relationship with the widely known concept of polyomino. D.Lazard (talk) 23:32, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Move to pseudo-polyomino per the above. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 01:08, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Move to pseudo-polyomino per the above. It's an extremely clear case. Limit-theorem (talk) 11:51, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
