Ocular O Article

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
To merge Binocular O, Double Monocular O, Monocular O and Multiocular O to one joint article with a shared title (consensus), potentially Cyrillic o variants (applying WP:SILENCE). Klbrain (talk) 07:38, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm proposing an article about the letters, Binocular O, Double Monocular O, Monocular O and Multiocular O, by merging this article with other ones, since they're almost similar to each other. 4lepheus B4ron (talk) 18:17, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

relevant articles are Binocular O, Double Monocular O, Monocular O and Multiocular O. I have merged to here the duplicate discussions at the other Talk pages. jnestorius(talk) 08:44, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Monocular, Binocular and Double Monocular O's can just be merged under "Ocular O", but the Multiocular O should have its own article as it was not actually used (and many people would be looking specifically for it) Plexus96 (talk) 15:12, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a reliable source for the name you are proposing? To me merging/redirecting these to O (Cyrillic)#Church Slavonic printed fonts and Slavonic manuscripts seems like the most neutral solution. 1234qwer1234qwer4 00:44, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I support the merger because these Unicode character pages are more convenient to users and readers if they show many related characters. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 13:50, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge all O variants. English Wiktionary has correctly figured out (or is in the process of figuring out*) that Unicode characters are not the same as encyclopedic (or lexicographic) concepts – not least because there are so many mistakes and invented characters throughout Unicode. Many seem to make this assumption – perhaps because our encyclopedia is written in Unicode? perhaps because of precedents like every archaic Cyrillic character having its own article? – but it does not stand up. In other words, not every character deserving of an article has to be a Unicode character, and not every Unicode character is deserving of an article. Even one with a bit of a backstory like "multiocular O" does not warrant an article of its own. The Unicodeness of a character is, in most cases, at best worthy of a footnote. (*Look for "Unicode" in recent Beer parlour months, e.g. July.) Hftf (talk) 04:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I kinda agree, but I would suggest rather making a page called Cyrillic o variants and then list all of the variants bellow linking the respective articles below, or make subsections in the Cyrillic o article Emmanuelbruh (talk) 02:02, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

multiocular o

[edit]

This variant is only in the lowercase form. Therefore, it is a multiocular (lowercase) o. Naming it as an uppercase O is misleading. 2600:1700:8B40:4660:B964:4EA8:A631:310D (talk) 14:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
To merge Crossed O and Double O (Cyrillic) into Cyrillic o variants for short text and context; to not merge Broad On given that it was a standard orthographic letter in Church Slavonic. Klbrain (talk) 19:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This one has a similar function to the variants merged here before, so I don't see why it should be treated differently. 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I agree with you, because it's definitely a variant of Cyrillic O. In fact, they should also merge Broad On and Double O into this article since those are also variants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymy365248 (talkcontribs) 04:52, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(FTR, my initial proposal was only concerning Crossed О, the section header having been subsequently changed; thanks @Mzajac for bringing this to my attention). I have no objections to merging in double О as well, but I oppose merging Broad On, since it was a standard orthographic letter in Church Slavonic (even having a numerical value) and not a palaeographic variant used only in specific manuscripts. 1234qwer1234qwer4 17:06, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then let’s omit the broad on from this proposal for now, to keep it simple (whether or not there may be a separate argument to merge it too).  —Michael Z. 18:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. See my comment above. Hftf (talk) 09:09, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. These are not separate letters, but all presentational variant glyphs of the letter O (Cyrillic). We don’t have separate articles for serif, sans-serif, or handwritten font styles of individual letters, for the unicameral or bicameral letter G glyphs, or for other presentational variations. (Next, please propose merging this one into the parent article that’s actually about the letter.)  —Michael Z. 17:05, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support for double O. No opinion for the rest. --Error (talk) 19:24, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Those letters are all just glyph variants of the cyrillic letter O. 2001:14BB:A0:68A8:9B1:5856:DEF3:8771 (talk) 08:19, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
oppose for broad on, support for the rest

multiocular o deserves its own page

its beautiful and deserves more research and attention V333spertine (talk) 07:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a doodle by a bored scribe. It doesn't deserve a mention by anyone other than bored scribe doodle researchers, much less a spot in Unicode or a Wikipedia article. 2406:3400:319:C861:19D0:2E3A:A26D:C654 (talk) 00:08, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page error

[edit]

Broad On was added, but then people thought it was vandalism, So, they broght the page back. So it still counts, right? 47.156.111.90 (talk) 23:17, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is fixed. Please do not remove it. 47.156.111.90 (talk) 23:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other Languages should be translations of english

[edit]

Other languages just list Monocular O, but can someone translate these and the title for other languages? 47.156.111.90 (talk) 23:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lowercase Multiocular O?

[edit]

Is there a lowercase Multiocular O? 47.156.111.90 (talk) 01:25, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, nvm. 47.156.111.90 (talk) 14:02, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
no,there is not a lowercase multilocular O. The multiocular o in the word"многоꙮчитїй" is both the uppercase and lowercase. But the lowercase is non existent and the ꙮ is both uppercase and lowercase multiocular o. 86.97.103.231 (talk) 18:25, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
