[edit] Vivipary

Topic already covered in detail at Mammal and in the appropriate place in related articles. Page seems to exist primarily to play up an unusual word. Word is legitimate, but page has no potential to grow beyond a dicdef and link list. Prod rm by anon. John Reid 20:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Not all viviparous creatures are mammals. Has the potential to be a useful article. DJ Clayworth 20:42, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep per DJ. Disagree with the nom on the article's potential. Eivind^t@c 00:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I found this article searching for information about certain insects, not mammals.Fnarf999 20:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I challenge the assertion of potential quality. Can either editor give any specific example of any related trait that is shared by a viviparous mammal and a viviparous plant besides the mere fact? Or to rephrase: Can you identify any specific quality of the subject ("Vivipary"), anything of note, beyond the dictionary definition and a list of organisms that possess the trait?

If you believe the subject has potential, please show how this may be possible. Otherwise, I suggest your comments are pure optimism. John Reid 02:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
