An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect 120-gram and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 May 8#120-gram until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. 1234qwer1234qwer4 12:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

What's a ${\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2}}}$-gon's name? Or a ${\displaystyle 7{\frac {13}{19}}}$-gon too? We need the fractional names! Mariomaker-4 (talk) 22:23, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is not the place for publishing or asking about neologisms and original research. And this talk page is not the place for anything other than possible improvements to the polygon article based on published references. You need to look elsewhere for your speculation. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Maybe somewhere else? I didn't mean just on Wikipedia. Mariomaker-4 (talk) 22:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

To repeat: this talk page is not the place for anything other than possible improvements to the polygon article. Other discussion does not belong here. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

A 713⁄19-gon, Schläfli symbol ${\displaystyle \{{\frac {146}{19}}\}}$, is one of many 146-grams (the denominator can be any odd number 1<n<73). So what? —Tamfang (talk) 07:02, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

And your { 1⁄2 } is a double cover of a henagon. —Tamfang (talk) 04:33, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank You! Also, can you make the page for a 146-gon? I don't want it to be a redirect. It's true name, I think, is a Hecatontetracontakaihexagon. I'll get work on the Regular Polygon db of it. It sadly won't be completely finished, but it's okay, right? Mariomaker-4 (talk) 15:16, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

NO. There is nothing to say about this polygon, specifically, that is not true of polygons in general. It is not notable, in the sense that Wikipedia demands for articles: there are not multiple publications that cover it in-depth, independent of other polygons. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:38, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

What if I make a... never mind. I can't even make websites! I'll ask someone else to make the page! Yeah, that's a good idea! Also, for now, it can be a redirect. Okay? I'm very sorry.  :) Mariomaker-4 (talk) 13:24, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Didn't see my talk edit yet?I would like you to check before long. 219.104.224.225 (talk) 07:51, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

A polygon does not have to be a plane figure; it can also be three-dimensional (since nothing about a shape made from line segments with endpoints each shared by exactly two segments restricts the shape to two dimensions).
