The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

"A group of inerts." I don't even know what this means: conceivably chemistry? The phrase is barely found in a Google search; our entry ranks highly for it. Equinox ◑ 21:59, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

A IP added a sense "a group of interns" in 2008, then four minutes later changed it to "a group of inerts". Looks like vandalism; indeed, two days earlier the same IP seems to admit to being a vandal.

(As a tip, WikiBlame is the tool I used to find the diff where "inert" was added.) This, that and the other (talk) 09:47, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete based on the evidence presented above. For what it’s worth, the OED does not list any such related sense. — SGconlaw (talk) 11:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
