• Delete. Not needed, not useful, not right in etymological roots either, I think, in that while gynoids are more likely to appear than androids, an anthroid would imply something modelled upon the primates but not a hominoid. Midgley 21:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I would suggest Transwiki to the furophile Wikifur too, but the page in that wiki looks to be exactly the same as this one. Aaah... the wonderful world of furry lovers and their completely uninhibited furry fantasy friends. Wow, wikipedia is so educational. What a creative combination of the furry sex fetish with a cyborg sex fetish. I learnt two fantastic new words from that article too, both of which should be in the Oxford English Dictionary: "mainstreamization" and "postfurry". Bwithh 21:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I'd dismiss it as a joke, but having recently looked at some "furry" articles... I'm not so sure. Nevertheless... not encyclopedic. Though I did get a laugh out of "Postfurry". - Motor (talk) 22:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Android Along with all the many terms listed there. It's a valid idea that if humans start to build robots that very closely resemble humans, they will build robots that very closely resemble creatures which are similar but not human. A group of star trek fans might create a robot designed to mimic a vulcan, which would not fit the traditional definition of android. Such robots are likely to created by hollywood for entertainment, or by the toy industry, for entertainment or education. An 'anthroid' featured in the scifi short story 'Super toys last all summer long' which became the basis for the film AI. The term anthroid should be listed as a subcatigory of android until another term comes into more popular usage. ANTIcarrot 20:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• What else can I say? Delete. --Slgrandson 22:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Why do the 9 people who have voted 'delete' so far all have their own personal pages on wikipedia about themselves? Wouldn't they all (or the vast majority) be up for deletion under the WP:NOT rules as well? You must all of course be aware, in your desire to delete other people pages, that wikipedia does not have infinate bandwidth and server space.ANTIcarrot 23:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
