The page is entirely nonsense and the title is not a suitable one for an article. Michael Hardy (talk) 02:50, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm surprised to see someone saying that the article titled distance doesn't say anything about this. That does not follow from the mere absence of the exact word equidistant. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:59, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to distance. By hindsight I think I should have simply changed it back to a redirect to distance. At the time I proposed this deletion, I hadn't yet noticed that it formerly redirected there. It appeared on the math Wikiproject's "current activities" page as a new article, I presume because someone put a mathematics category tag on it. Perhaps this should be a "speedy". I'm not altogether sure of the rules concerning those. It says "equidistant" is a past-tense verb. Any fool knows that it's an adjective. The remarks about geometry are silly nonsense.
