Mississippi (time)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unit of time that is unencyclopdeic. Meatsgains (talk) 01:35, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. At a pinch, one could redirect to the article on Second and perhaps add a sentence about counting seconds this way, but the nominator is right that this isn't encyclopedic in and of itself. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:10, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a unit of time, just part of an expression, which doesn't even qualify it as a deletable WP:DICTDEF. 31,536,000 Mississippi's = 1 year? Yeah, right. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:27, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nom. Indeed, its sole reference is the Wiktionary page "Appendix:Words used as placeholders to count seconds," which is precisely where it belongs. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:42, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing left here worth keeping, not worth a redirect. (amended) Power~enwiki (talk) 19:31, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nonsense outside of the US, and not notable within the US. Some people use "Mississippi" as an estimate for a second, other people use another word or phrase... so what? Not encyclopedic. Jack N. Stock (talk) 12:11, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unencyclopedic. Mississippi is not called a unit of time in any reliable source I've seen. Wiktionary is not a reliable source. Station1 (talk) 22:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mississippi, which briefly mentions this. Plausible search term and plausible target, but it's not notable by itself as others have said. Smartyllama (talk) 16:51, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
