I propose that this article is moved to Wiktionary and deleted on Wikipedia. It is purely definitional. Tom (LT) (talk) 00:02, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

 * delete we already have articles on the topics, this is just about the word. Happy Squirrel (talk) 16:35, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * transwiki to Wiktionary and delete on Wikipedia. As anatomical terminology that is not in widespread use, I can't see the content being expanded to the level that would be needed to be able to stand on its own as a Wikipedia article. Drchriswilliams (talk) 13:02, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * There is already an article on Alvus in the wiktionarry so I don't think transwiking is necessary. Happy Squirrel (talk) 18:28, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The content and the source cited in the Wikipedia article is not currently represented in the wiktionary article. Indeed the Wikipedia article started in 2006 cites a source from 1728 (now in the public domain) while the Wiktionary article started in 2009 only lists a source from 1879. This is why I suggest that it would be more appropriate to transwiki (by merging content to the wiktionary article). Drchriswilliams (talk) 18:45, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
