Sum of parts. Defined at Markarian. SemperBlotto (talk) 08:10, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- "Markarian" is a reduction from "Markarian galaxy", so it is not a sum of parts. The original term is "Markarian galaxy" -- 65.94.78.70
- Keep, for patriotic reasons. --Vahag (talk) 21:24, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- Keep; seems like e.g. Down's and Alzheimer's, abbreviating a longer canonical term. Equinox ◑ 21:29, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- Keep per 65. and Equinox. Doesn't that reasoning mean that, in principle, we need two etymology sections at [[Markarian]]? DCDuring TALK 21:41, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- Keep. This passes both the "in a jiffy" test and the "red dwarf" test (which is, to quote Dan P, "Imagine I get rid of red dwarf by adding to red the definition Of a dwarf star, small and relatively cool [and] of the main sequence"). - -sche (discuss) 03:32, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- RFD kept per consensus. (I support keeping and am closing the nomination.) --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:17, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
