Present simple continuous

The title of this page on English grammar, "Present simple continuous", is an oxymoron. In English the simple present is not continuous, and the continuous present is not simple (is not constructed as a single word).

The title phrase appears nowhere in the article.

The content of the article is already covered much better in Continuous and progressive aspects#English, in English verbs#Progressive constructions, and in English verbs#Simple present. Duoduoduo (talk) 16:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The page was originally a redirect to Continuous and progressive aspects, but since the title is meaningless, delete. TimBentley (talk) 20:43, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per NOTHOWTO, plus the factual problems and duplicated effort described by Duoduoduo. Cnilep (talk) 00:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Nibberish-gibberish. Clear lack of knowledge of linguistics, and Wikipedia prides itself on being factually accurate. Linguogeek (talk) 23:25, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
