OK, so wiki didn't >set< the guideline, but it did republish a guideline....

And it's a GUIDEline.

The purpose of which is to set a standard.

No.

It is DESCRIPTIVE, not PRESCRIPTIVE.

How does the note 8 or ipad mini fit that standard?

I don't have to on two counts.

1. It sets TYPICAL dimensions which means that items outside of that range can still be part of the set.

2. It isn't a standard, it's a description.

I suppose if you want to call them 'fat phablets', that's fine. But they aren't standard phablets....

And straight back to the "no true Scotsman"!~

You've got "No scotsman" stuck on your brain, donchya? so what is 'standard' about an ipad mini or note 8 as a phablet?

"standard"? Is this yet another goalpost drag, Fanboy?

BTW, you DO realize that your Wikipedia cite lists a phablet with a screen larger than the range you want to make so important, right?

"Phablets typically have screens that measure (diagonally) between 5.01 and 6.9 inches"

" • 2011 Dell Streak 7 (7.0" screen)"

So you're now going to have to argue... ...what?

Face it: you made a fallacious argument.

And the Dell streak died on the vine, too...

How does that change the fact that your supposedly authoritative cite contradicts your interpretation of its content?

It doesn't 'contradict' any such thing....
