Quite a straightforward WP:DICDEF, with no content beyond what you might expect in an inadequate dictionary's entry for the term. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 02:56, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Redirect seems better. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:56, 23 January 2019 (UTC).
 *  Keep . More than a dictdef, touches on varieties and subtleties. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:02, 19 January 2019 (UTC).
 * In much the same way a dictionary would. / edg ☺ ☭ 18:52, 19 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Absolutely, 100% clearly a dicdef. I have no idea what article Xxanthippe is reading, because it's not this one. GliderMaven (talk) 03:13, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete It's pretty much an exemplary dictionary definition. The intended job of this page, minus a bit of verbiage, is being done by Evolution (disambiguation). -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:02, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has been weakening WP:DICDEF for years in cases where the mere usage of a word has become notable per se, such as Fuck, Cuckservative, and Democrat In Name Only. I am not a fan of this trend. However, if reliable sources could be provided for such notability, a case could be made for keeping this article. As it stands, I would either Delete or do away with WP:DICDEF and admit definitions in Wikipedia. / edg ☺ ☭ 18:52, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Pretty straightforward example of DICDEF. Wikipedia is not a DIC. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:28, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete WP:DICDEF Any non biological meaning of evolution is already covered in the field of study for example Chemical Evolution, Economic Evolution Aurornisxui (talk) 17:32, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect a DICDEF that does nothing that can't be done on Evolution (disambiguation). Several of the entries may need to be moved to that page. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:30, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
