[edit] Plethora

Definition of a non-notable archaic medical term. The article has already been speedy deleted three times in the last month. Alabamaboy 02:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete and salt, at least for a while, since the user insists on being a pain about it. In the lastest go 'round, the user recreated the page all of seven minutes after it was deleted. Mwelch 02:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but stamp on silliness Transwiki. As it stands, it's not much more than dictionary definition, but it could be expanded a little: the history of the term (see Cacochymy), role as a clinical sign (see Pemberton's sign), transfusion plethora, etc. One editor pissing about is reason to invoke misconduct procedures, not remove a topic.

• Transwiki to Wiktionary, but on account that we're not a dictionary. Editorial silliness can be dealt with through administrative action. --Dennisthe2 03:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment to supplement - the archaic medical term is, suffice it to say, archaic, but that it's a dicdef alone is a killer for this one. Even current usage ("a plethora" being "a whole lot" something) I can't really see as being much more than a dicdef. --Dennisthe2 14:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• "Do you know what a plethora is?" Apparently I don't, jefe, I was only aware of the modern usage. Nevertheless, it's still just a dicdef and at most transwiki this entry. Arkyan • ^(talk) 15:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• I'm also cool with going the transwiki route.--Alabamaboy 23:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• keep it's a stub for a currently used medical term, which also has another archaic meaning (sure the reference was 'hidden' but u shld have checked, please pay more attention to content rather than editors)  ⇒ bsnowball  10:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I, for one, am paying attention to content, and really don't care who created it. I prefer to hold no ventettas against any editors. =) Content currently says "dictionary definition", thus my !vote - which stands as is, unless we can actually make it into something more than a dictionary definition. --Dennisthe2 14:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
• Transwiki, unless someone can make this a proper encyclopedic article.--JyriL ^talk 17:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
