The result was Keep. Consensus is that neither ellipse nor ellipsis took precedence over the other. (Also, AfD is for deletion only—noms that propose non-deletion actions like redirection are eligible for speedy keep #1.) ( non-admin closure) czar ♔ 16:50, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
This is a WP:TWODABS page, which I would propose has a clear primary topic in terms of long-term historical importance. Although the topics, Ellipse and Ellipsis are roughly equal in terms of pageviews, I believe that the mathematical concept is of greater long-term importance. One can write without ever using an ellipsis, but one can not do any advanced level of math (or space travel, or many other engineering feats) without using the mathematical ellipses. Since there are only two links on the page, this can be redirected to Ellipse and addressed in the existing hatnote on that page. bd2412 T 15:13, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
Redirect per nom, the page seems quite unnecessary; the plural of Ellipsis exists but is hardly a matter of daily utterance (i.e. it's an utterly implausible search term), so all that's left is Ellipse, and there's no call for a separate page for its plural. For a redirect/merge like this, there's no reason to bring it to AfD as we're not deleting anything. But I'd support you in your intention. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 19:39, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
