Pentominoes
There is already a page called pentomino in Wikipedia, and having two pages discussing the same topic is redundant since the information in the "pentominoes" page is already present in the pages polyomino and pentomino. HappyCamper 02:20, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I realized that in some sections of Wikipedia, the word "pentominoes" is used to mean exclusively the game pentominoes and particular aspects of it, not the 5-square blocks.

I changed all the internal links pointing to the page 'pentominoes' to 'pentomino' in anticipation of this page delete (Is this part of the procedure?). These were Game complexity, solved board games, and polyomino.

Maybe an alternative for deletion would be to make a disambiguation page which explains that "pentomino" usually refers to the singular form of the 5-square blocks, while "pentominoes" can mean either the plural form of "pentomino" or the game "pentominoes" which is played with pentomino pieces on an 8 by 8 board. What are your opinions? HappyCamper 02:53, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
