Able-bodied

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Reason - attempted prod - Suggesting deletion - rational : superfluous to http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/able-bodied, suggest a wiktiomary link. Other concerns are unreferenced material in second and third paragraph, which may be WP:OR and maybe should be removed irrespective.

My examination of incoming links shows that they are a. probably uneccessary, and b. simple requests for a dictionary definition in the simplest sense. Oranjblud (talk) 14:12, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Original research/essay; somewhat POV and completely unreferenced. --MelanieN (talk) 14:54, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Doesn't seem to be a term of art, just a description (see the wikitionary article). If anything, this should be redirected to that article, if not deleted. Also share some of MelanieN's concerns about OR. -- Lord Roem (talk) 15:09, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Soft redirect to Wiktionary per MelanieN.— S Marshall T/C 21:01, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Send it to Wiktionary (BTW Why were the Medicine and Law Wikiprojects notified of this but not WikiProject Disability?) Roger (talk) 19:44, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * There doesn't seem to be a deletion sorting list for disability. WP:DELSORT is a separate function from WP:Wikiproject. --MelanieN (talk) 14:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well there is obviously some correlation with WikiProjects because notifications are posted to Project talk pages. Can it be fixed so that WikiProject Disability also receives relevant notices. Picking and chosing which of the projects that have tagged an article deserve to get notified and which don't can cause a deletion discussion to be biased. Apologies for the diversion from the actual topic here, but this matter needs attention. Roger (talk) 14:43, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Those aren't project notifications, those are deletion sorting lists. The projects themselves aren't notified unless they have the Article Alerts bot set up to monitor all their project tags which is a seperate process from delsort which just categorizes deletion discussions. -DJSasso (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As a matter of fact the Disability Wikiproject already has Article Alerts set up, see WikiProject Disability. And this article already is listed there. Anyone who wants to have relevant articles called to their attention, can add WikiProject Disability/Article alerts to their watchlist. --MelanieN (talk) 17:09, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * (consensus appears to be delete/redirect) I can convert to Template:Wiktionary redirect now, but I think someone (admin) needs to close the discussion.Oranjblud (talk) 16:44, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not clear exactly what a redirect to Wiktionary entails. But if it means this entire article will be reproduced there, as if it is an actual definition, I would object. Only the first sentence of the article is a definition. The other two paragraphs are original research/essay and would not be appropriate for Wiktionary IMO. --MelanieN (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If you feel that any of the content of Able-bodied could usefully be added to the existing able-bodied page, you are welcome to do so. Roger (talk) 17:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. WP:NOTDICT, title is not a noun and so fails to unambiguously identify a topic per WP:TITLE. —chaos5023 (talk) 18:00, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. WP:NOTDICT. But I would have thought that disability studies theorists would have explored this term (or its equivalents), similar to the function of the term "cisgender" in transgender studies. However, without any WP:RS for that it has to go. Maratrean (talk) 10:48, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
