We have a relevant sense at declination, making this SOP. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:02, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hmm. As declination has several meanings, I'm inclined to keep this one, but improve its definition. SemperBlotto (talk) 06:38, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep using the lemming heuristic: “magnetic declination”, in OneLook Dictionary Search. includes Merriam-Webster, AHD, and Collins. Admittedly, M-W has ": declination 6", a kind of soft redirect. I think our readers are better served with the definition now provided by SemperBlotto. Incidentally, I seem to have looked this up recently, under "magnetic declination". --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:38, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a very specific term that is not a sum of parts. Nicole Sharp (talk) 13:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
