@Tybete Searching for e.g. "zwei Minute" or "fünf Minute" shows that Minute does appear as a plural.__Gamren (talk) 19:17, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gamren: Where do you find it?
  • In some google books results I see "zwei Minute»", but when I open the book it's the correct "zwei Minuten"
  • [1] and [2] are nonstandard/dialectal.
  • [3] documents a spoken mistake.
  • [4] (a books-on-demand book) has "Die Zeiger ruhten auf zwei Minute nach sechs", but is incorrect German and the only result for "zwei Minute nach" (the other two results google books gives for that are OCR errors). Compared with the number of results for "zwei Minuten nach" it's a clear mistake.
  • [5]/[6] probably is the only result for "innerhalb zwei Minute" (two others have correct "innerhalb zwei Minuten" and [7] I can't see). Compared with the number of results for "innerhalb zwei Minuten" it's a clear mistake.
  • The "1980, Technica" quote at [8] I can't see - I can only see the google preview which might have an OCR error in it.
PS: "zwei Gehminute" or "fünf Gehminute" doesn't even get a single google books result. --Tybete (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
