WP is not a dictionary. YechielMan 00:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. -- MarcoTolo 00:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean up. This is not just a dictionary definition, it is an actual disease. Arjun 01:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. This seems interesting and, as a medical condition/disease, I'm sure there is more that could be said. Treatment? Prognosis? Rarity? --Ox-Puller 02:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. This seems to be a borderline case illustrating the fine line between what should and should not be transwikied to Wiktionary. It is true that currently the article is merely a dicdef. However I believe there is potential for it to grow into a proper encyclopedic article (even if a short one). I think only those dicdefs should be moved to Wikitionary which cannot possibly be expanded into proper articles and will forever remain just that, dictionary definitions. I don't think this is the case here; it is of course a merest stub, but all things begin small. -- Ekjon Lok 02:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per Arjun. —dima/s-ko/ 02:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is unverified information. Without sources, it ought to be deleted.Nick Graves 03:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and Expand per Arjun. JRHorse 03:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • A carnosity isn't really a standalone disease or condition, more a specific medical term -- much like saying ecchymosis vs bruise. Since carnosity links to tubercle (another stub), what about a merge? (Note to Admin: this is not intended as another !vote, simply an alternative to my original transwiki suggestion above). -- MarcoTolo 03:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. As a medical condition, it is encyclopedic. Article has potential to be expanded. —Brim 06:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom; it's not a medical condition as far as I can tell. It is a medical term, as well as a general term. ([1], [2]), and I don't think an encyclopedia article could grow from this alone. Wouldn't be opposed to having it included in another relevant article, however. --Fang Aili talk 16:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep but provide better referencing and expand. Yamaguchi先生 03:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. I agree with Fang Aili that it seems to be a medical term, not an actual condition, but it still needs a dictionary definition on Wiktionary. As for Wikipedia, no objection to a merge or redirect to Tubercle (anatomy), as long as someone can conclusively say that they're actually the same thing. Quack 688 09:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - being a stub is no reason to delete a page. --h2g2bob 18:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep no matter what it is, a medical condition or a disease, it is encyclopedia material. So keep and give it a chance for expansion and referencing. ← ANAS Talk? 02:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
