This is a hoax, an invented term. What is being described here is nothing more than a pot handle. There are no references cited, and any references on the web seem to be derived from this article. Invented by "Markus Goughh", inspired by Lego and Meccano, ha ha! Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 19:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Try googling spondonical instead. Then merge with Trangia, removing the second paragraph, which is unsourced speculation. Cosmo0 (talk) 20:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, it seems spondonicle is the right spelling, so a merge would be appropriate. However, I still have serious doubts about the term; I own at least three of the things (only one made by Trangia) and have never heard them called anything except "handle". And outdoor gear catalogues never call them anything fancy either, as far as I can see. However, that's a matter for the talk page now. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 11:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)(I withdraw my merge vote; no point in being half-hearted about it. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 23:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC) )[reply]- The fact that no-one seems to know how to spell it suggests that it's not a standard term. My suggestion, since the word is mentioned in Trangia, would be to condense the contents of Spondonacle to a single-sentence definition in parentheses in Trangia and then redirect to that page (and possibly create redirects for the alternative spellings as well).

- Spondonicale, spondonacle? I've only heard "pot-gripper". Anyways, I don't think it should be merged into Trangia because other companies make the same sort of devices. I think it would be better to merge into Portable stove. Billscottbob (talk) 04:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Aside from being The term yields only 122 hits on Google, so I don't think a redirect would be appropriate. Whether or not there should be a redirect for the term if it was spelled properly is another issue altogether, though since that only yields 297 hits, I don't think there should be a redirect there either. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 16:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Obscure term for item often called a "pot-lifter". There's no sourced content to merge. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
