"[W]rong analysis of -tio?" I can see why someone would say that. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:43, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Fix it or tag it, don't delete it. WCCasey (talk) 02:06, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Redirect to -tio. I think that it’s an excusable mistake. --Romanophile (talk) 14:52, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. It seems to be a compound suffix. Mentioned as -atio in MWO's etymology of -ation[1]. Further in http://www.wordsense.eu/-atio/, etymonline.com[2], and multiple sources in Google books (Historical Linguistics, Theodora Bynon, 1977; Lexical Analysis: Norms and Exploitations, Patrick Hanks, 2013; A History of the Spanish Language, Ralph John Penny, 2002; etc.); see also google books:"-atio" latin suffix and google books:"Latin -atio". Tagged in diff and then changed to RFD in diff by User:Fsojic. --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:58, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Kept, no consensus to delete. The definition may need to be revised. bd2412 T 15:36, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

This is just the suffix -tio combined with the stem-final vowel of the preceding word. It's not a separate suffix. We also don't have -itio, which has the same composition. —CodeCat 18:28, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
- Keep as a compound suffix per previoux RFD at Talk:-atio, where I mentioned multiple sources mentioning the suffix. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:05, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
As above. The adjective-forming sense is actually a distinct etymology, and should be kept, though. —CodeCat 18:31, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
request of deleting my entry of ahmad alkandari thanks
- Keep as a compound suffix. The "as above" mentioned by the OP would be this: "This is just the suffix -tio combined with the stem-final vowel of the preceding word. It's not a separate suffix. We also don't have -itio, which has the same composition." Searches I perused: google books:"-atus" suffix, google:"-atus" suffix. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:13, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
