 * Delete, as per NOM's argument unless a more precise description of what the term means can be provided which is also supported by sources which demonstrate that this is useful ornithological terminology. Snow (talk) 21:48, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep A useful disambiguation page. It is entirely plausible that someone may remember just part of a bird's name, and this page will assist in narrowing down their search for information. There is no need for sources to be provided discussing the specific term, since it is already used to describe at least seven notable bird varieties.

 * But wouldn't the auto-complete in the search bar serve the same function? I guess not everyone will have that enabled though...Snow (talk) 00:39, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, I retract my position and I've added a small one-sentence disambiguation as the general meaning of the term. Ideally I'd still like a source before fully endorsing a keep.  I'll give it a go at finding one. Snow (talk) 00:47, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment It does kind of go against this policy Disambiguation but we could disregard that if keeping the page is beneficial. I'm inclined to leave it as harmless. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:13, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is not a disambiguation page. If the ornithology wikiproject wants to establishes set indexes for birds that share a common descriptor, that is a separate matter -- but this is not disambiguation. older ≠ wiser 04:40, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a proper disambiguation page if there is nothing out there referred to exclusively by this term. bd2412  T 17:48, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I would have no objection to a list being made of common descriptors used in ornithology, and section redirecting all such terms to it. bd2412  T 15:54, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a bad idea at all, in theory, but it would require significant effort from someone knowledgeable about ornithological terminology to implement, unless you are suggesting simply moving the current content there and letting it grow on its own. Snow (talk) 21:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PTM. Anyone entering "Fawn-breasted" in the search box will get the same list as the top hits, so that this malformed dab page is unnecessary. Deor (talk) 13:34, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
