Wikipedia is not a dictionary  G W … 18:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC) * Speedy keep. Failure to follow WP:BEFORE should be considered a violation of WP:CIVIL and against WP:CONSENSUS. A discussion among the people who happen to come here is inadequate. Use the talk page and give it an adequate period of time before deletion. -- Biaswarrior (talk) 19:02, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to anadiplosis, if needed. Being that "It is more usually called anadiplosis" and all... Livitup (talk) 18:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Note Biaswarrior's only contributions have been to vote Speedy Keep, failure to follow WP:Before, in a variety of AfD debates today, and a couple of PROD removals to boot. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 19:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Anadiplosis, per Livitup's rationale. This will require mentioning the word at that page, so I guess this is a sort of merge. Cnilep (talk) 20:51, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect, but to Epanalepsis rather than Anadiplosis. According to Richard A. Lanham's Handlist of Rhetorical Terms, epanastrophe is a synonym of epanalepsis, referring to the repetition at the end of a clause of the words with which the clause began. Anadiplosis, which refers to the repetition at the beginning of a clause of the words with which the preceding clause ended, denotes a different figure of speech. This article's definition of the term is incorrect. Deor (talk) 02:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? 1, 2, and 3 agree with the article. Perhaps you looked up epanadiplosis in your book.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 00:24, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Frankly, I don't know what the hell I was looking at, since Lanham doesn't even have an entry for epanastrophe. Opinion emended accordingly; fish applied forcefully to cheek. Deor (talk) 09:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
