[edit]Ballantine rings
[edit]Please stop your disruptive removal of "Ballantine rings" from the Borromean rings article. Your dislike of content that connects to commercial topics is noted, but irrelevant. Highly-reliable sources state that this has been used as one of the standard names of this topic. As such, it is worthy of mention in the lead and content of the article, and not for removal to leftover-topic trivia sections. In general, we mention commonly used alternative names in leads, and I see no reason for an exception in this case. Your dislike of commerce is not a valid reason for this removal. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:10, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Did you look at the ngram I provide, which disproves your claim? Cerberus (talk) 17:51, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Claims such as that a certain phrase was used to name a certain topic need published reliable sources. Google ngrams is not a published reliable source and relying on it instead of what the sources actually say is original research. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:39, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- In what sense is Google ngrams not a "published reliable source? Is that a policy?
- Here is the persistent URL for the comparison.
- And regardless of the fact that the literature contains a minor reference to this truly negligible usage, that does not justify 5 (!) mentions in a short article. Can we at least agree on that? Cerberus (talk) 17:17, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- I am still awaiting a response. Cerberus (talk) 15:40, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
