- Delete. At WP:NOTDICT it explains that Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary but rather an online encyclopedia to provide information on different topics. We should not create articles that just give definitions of any word. --Vaco98 (talk) 01:40, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- You should both read Project:Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary properly. This is not a dictionary article about a word. It has zero etymology, pronunciation, and other dictionary stuff. It's a stub encyclopaedia article about an element of mediaeval musical notation, also called the "divisio syllabarum" (per Edwin Frederick Flindell, at any rate). The question is whether it is capable of expansion. A quick look around indicates that it is, either standalone or refactored into an article with larger scope to include the divisio syllabarum, the divisio modi, and the suspiratio, perhaps as a sub-topic of mensural notation (which mentions none of these) or even straightforwardly in that article.
All of this is achievable with non-administrator tools.
It's worth noting, by the way, that not everyone accepts Friedrich Ludwig's nomenclature. Stephen Parkinson considered it "cumbersome" and suggested "lineola".
- Comment: I notice that a) the article is an orphan; b) there's an entry wikt:Silbenstrich; c) Grove Music Online 2001 has a 1-line entry ; d) there are no entries or even mentions at the German Misplaced Pages or Wiktionary. I can't help but adding that removing this entry will not improve the English Misplaced Pages. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:43, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Researching this, and the others aforementioned, involves mainly books, written in German, French, and Italian. Parkinson's article on the Cantigas, where xe remarks on the Silbenstrich, is in English, as is Flindell's cited-by-others thesis (OCLC 38652486). Uncle G (talk) 07:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

- Comment: I agree with Michael Bednarek's findings. Can we merge this very specific little thing into mensural notation, making Silbenstrich (music) a redirect? Because it's only a secondary meaning of the normal German Silbenstrich, users may link here meaning something else. - Uncle G, please close paragraphs that you open, or the editor colours are confused. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:33, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Merge This article is not significant enough to have it's own article. It should be merged into mensural notation. GoldMiner24 (talk) 09:38, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
