Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Congenital


 * I don't see how this could be more than a dictionary entry.
 * I believe this page should stay - either way, I've thoroughly rewritten this entry to make it less dictionary like. Keep. Nick04 19:01, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Birth defect? -- Cyrius|&#9998; 19:38, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * But the term isn't only used for defects. For example, congenital syphilis. Hmm, britannica uses congenital disorder.  Maybe we can move it there. anthony (see warning)
 * Move to congenital disorder and Wiktionary. Encyclopedia entries describe things, not words; nouns, not adjectives. anthony (see warning)
 * Delete. Aside from it just being a dictdef that should be removed, "birth defect" isn't the only use of the word congenital. The word itself has nothing to do with birth defects. It just means existing at, or dating from, or pertaining to birth, and is used for things other than birth defects. So, it should not be redirected anywhere. It should just be deleted. - Centrx 21:11, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to congenital disorder. JFW | T@lk  10:01, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * It belongs in Wiktionary because this is primarily a dictionary definition. I consider it too vague a topic to ever be much more.  However, there are many solid articles which link to it.  In this case, I recommend keep.  Rossami 16:39, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * At the same time, as it stands it really doesn't belong in the Wiktionary because what is there is not the definition for the word. It is misleading and inaccurate. - Centrx 16:50, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
