Puncutation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A made up word, unfortunately. No references in this article to support the existence (let alone notability) of the word, nothing on Google apart from this article and many misspellings of "punctuation", and more importantly, nothing in the Oxford English Dictionary--and the OED's etymology for the word pun directly contradicts the claim that it is a shortened form of puncutation: "Origin unknown. Perhaps shortened < punctilio n. or its etymon Italian puntiglio". — maestrosync talk — 13:48, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Punctuation as a plausible misspelling. Powers T 14:10, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete G3 as a blatant hoax. The only parts of this content that are remotely factual are not directly related to the purported subject.  I'll leave it to others whether this is a sufficiently plausible typo to warrant leaving a redirect, but there is no need to retain the current material.

 * Delete We shouldn't keep typos as they are unnecessary and confusing. Warden (talk) 22:12, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete then redirect per Powers. --Nlu (talk) 04:31, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - made up in one day. The correct term is holorime. Bearian (talk) 22:03, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as a hoax. The source treats the pun, which, as maestrosync points out, is not related to the made-up word puncutation. I daresay Melner28, whose only edit was to create this page, was having a laugh. Cnilep (talk) 02:40, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect - Sounds like a misspelling. Corn cheese (talk) 18:48, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
