Wey, Load

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The title itself is incoherent: "Wey" and "Load" are different (see Wey (unit) and Load (unit)). This is copied verbatim from the table on page 37 of the ever-unreliable Cardarelli (see User:Imaginatorium/Cardarelli) Imaginatorium (talk) 10:23, 17 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Wey and Load are alternate titles and so what we have here is a garbling of the original source. Andrew D. (talk) 13:17, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The original editor (Shevonsilva) copied it verbatim (i.e. comma-separated) from Cardarelli, who copied it almost verbatim from Washburn (1926), but in Washburn's book the names are bracketed, and there is a footnote "Variable". (Washburn is also, evidently, the source from which Cardarelli copied the gibberish "Japanese units", also verbatim.) Imaginatorium (talk) 15:23, 17 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete The source claiming this unit was used is a not reliable as it has many examples to show that it is a jumbled compilation of claims rather than a study of units. Johnuniq (talk) 06:35, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: I thought we'd got rid of this rubbish, sad to see some of it still around. Pam  D  15:39, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
