ad hominem argument

ad hominem + argument. Equinox ◑ 17:08, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Delete, but what of argument ad hominem, is that immune because of the unusual postpositive nature of ad hominem? Renard Migrant (talk) 19:45, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I'd say it isn't immune because in that case ad hominem is operating adverbially, not adjectivally. It's usual to put an adverb phrase after a noun. Equinox ◑ 13:17, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect: to ad hominem (and do the same for argument ad hominem) Purplebackpack89 19:19, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey I actually agree with Purple for once. Redirect is the smart idea. Equinox ◑ 21:04, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. Redirect makes the most sense. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:33, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Delete. SOP. An ad hominem is a type of argument. PseudoSkull (talk) 00:09, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect per Purp. DCDuring TALK 10:52, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Redirected, together with argument ad hominem. What, if anything, should be done with argumentum ad hominem? — SMUconlaw (talk) 19:32, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
