Talk:moving unit

RFD discussion: September–December 2018
Doesn't seem to be a particular term of art, or set phrase -- just fairly random SoP? Equinox ◑ 20:15, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Originally imported from somewhere in 2006. DonnanZ (talk) 23:05, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Compare this and this. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:47, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. From the "definition" given it seems to be a unit that is actually or potentially moving. If it means something more specific that would require citations, which are not present. DCDuring (talk) 04:36, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Not very promising, all OneLook refs redirect to motion, this in wiksearch doesn't mean anything specific. DonnanZ (talk) 09:27, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. The def portion "A unit of measurement in motion" does not even make sense: a moving kilojoule? Or moving bar that the French used to define meter? The rest, "such as moving crowd or the moving parts of a machine", seems SOP. --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:24, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. I do not understand the definition either. If this is perchance discovered to be a valid term, then the definition needs rewriting so as to be intelligible. Mihia (talk) 17:35, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It looks to me like the creator had a concept in mind, but couldn't think of a word for it: the smallest moving part, the basic, indivisible unit of movement when analyzed as a system, like the word in a sentence or an atom in physics before subatomic particles were added to the model. If it were an area of linguistics, we would call it a "motion-eme". The fatal flaw of this entry is that this is a concept, not a term, and if there is such a term, this isn't it.
 * Delete for being incomprehensible so far. Fay Freak (talk) 22:22, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
