Stadion (unit) was cleared for a move that apparently never happened. That said, per WP:TERSE, there is no need to use the wordier name until someone invents stadion (unit of weight), stadion (unit of pressure), or stadion (unit of boyband marketability). — LlywelynII 02:19, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
I think the article should have a stadion to mile conversion table that works both ways (miles -> stades : stades - > miles) at least for the itinerary stades of 157 m (515 ft) that reads along the lines of this:
I created my on conversion formula, because I could not find any online. Now I know stades already translate into kilometers (10 litinerary stades = 1.57 km) which means one could just convert from stades to kilometers to miles, but I'd rather take the shorter route.

If you read the article cited ("The Length of Eratosthenes' Stade") then Engels gives that Letronne estimated 158.25 m, not 157 m (page 305). This was refined by Lepsius, who came up with 157.5 m, but Engels notes that there is no literary evidence for a stadion of length 157 m. So I recommend this be changed, or clarified in the table.

I just re-organized this page a little bit. It's still confused in several places:
Anyway, planning to fix these up, but in case someone has a better idea about some of them, I'm making this note. - Eponymous-Archon ( talk) 18:00, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
there is an article on Greek feet spelling Pous..rather than podes. I don't know enough to go correcting the spelling here though Gjxj ( talk) 18:37, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
