 * Va rog


 * Va rog?


 * , at least four of the first ten are usable. Could you please do a quick check before nominating an entry for RFV? It saves us a lot of time. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:59, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * No. Unless we have "request for citations" or something. And really you know what would save you time? Not doing it if you don't care :) —  [Ric Laurent] — 23:54, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * And wasn't he warned not to nominate my entries here and on deletion out of spite and in bursts clearly just showing his displeasure? It's not the words' fault.Lucifer 22:44, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * There's a difference between spite and distrust. I don't trust a lot of your entries. —  [Ric Laurent] — 23:54, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * That's bull, by your own admission my EMT related entries are legit. You overlooked and were a bit lazy with this nomination at best or were just spiteful at worst and that is what this probably is since you nomed four at a time and they are all being kept and quick.Lucifer 11:53, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Note: Since we've now got a proper entry at the singular, spider strap:, I've changed this entry to a simple "plural of" entry. Equinox ◑ 22:54, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't this be usually plural though? Because spider straps is the singular, spider strap is one arm of a spider straps and spider straps is the whole apparatus and 2 to 9 of them but not all of them in a separate plural sense for spider strap. make sense?Lucifer 22:58, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * If you can talk about one, then I think it makes sense to put the thing at the singular. If you want, you could put at the start of the singular definition line. Equinox ◑ 23:00, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay let me specify. IIIIIIIIII that is one spider straps, it is one solid object. One spider straps, or two spider straps = IIIIIIIIII. Now if you want to talk about a single arm of a spider straps, you could call it a spider strap, but that doesn't make it the singular of the spider straps.Lucifer 23:24, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't find any evidence to support "one spider straps". Surely "one set of"? Equinox ◑ 23:27, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * A spider spider straps is used, just like a scissors, a cat of nine tails, and technically it's correct to say a pants.Lucifer 05:07, 28 November 2011 (UTC)


 * "A pants" is not correct. Provide proof instead of anecdotes. Equinox ◑ 20:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey look. The above appears to be verification in progress. —  [Ric Laurent] — 23:54, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The piece of equipment seems to be referred to in both the singular and the plural. Wasn't it originally "Spider Strap"     D b f  i  r  s   07:55, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No the equipment I am talking about is only known as spider straps, here is a good picture and as you can see, it is one large belt system, not individual pieces. There is no singular spider strap. Only individual arms to strap together.Lucifer 09:29, 27 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Provide proof instead of anecdotes. Equinox ◑ 20:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I did, obviously you can't understand a picture or look through the citations on the page, or state what exactly you want from me.Lucifer 08:45, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Equinox that's an illustration for those unfamiliar with the topic, it's not an anecdote, it's as assist for those of you that are unfamiliar with this topic, so I thought a picture worth a thousand words would clarify that like scissors, the plural is the main form. Do the 3 or more citations I added to the article constitute "proof"? I'm not sure I know what you mean otherwise, I am trying to explain this equipment as clearly as possible and show evidence to support what I am saying to resolve the verification process.Lucifer 08:43, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It definitely exists as a term in English, it seems comparable to scissors where 'a scissor' does exist but its rare. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:56, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think "Scissor" was ever a trade-marked product like "Spider Strap".   D b f  i  r  s   22:57, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks mglovesfun, I would also like to point out that it is verified at this point, with three or more citations.Lucifer 08:43, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think "less common" rather than "rare" in the singular, since one siteseems to claim a trade mark for the singular. The singular is also used in other fields.    D b f  i  r  s   10:31, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's delist since this is verified.Lucifer 07:14, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Any chance of researching the history of the product to see if it was originally a trade-marked product called a Spider Strap?   D b f  i  r  s   08:33, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

So, it seems to be cited (one citation is in all caps, but I don't doubt that more lowercase ones are available); does anyone still dispute that it passes RFV? - -sche (discuss) 20:58, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
