This is in that blurred area of Encyclopaedia vs Dictionary. I see this article as a dictionary definition that has no place in an encyclopaedia. Your mileage may vary.

 * Delete No substance. Could be redirected to Vivarium. --MelanieN (talk) 07:12, 15 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge and redirect into Vivarium. I don't think it's expansible as an independent article, but the material there's verifiable and would fit into the Vivarium piece fine. Gonzonoir (talk) 09:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect because the article is too short and not particularly notable enough to stand alone; the material works better in Vivarium. I don't think this is a WP:DICTDEF case though, because although the article is a stub now one could imagine it being filled out with the history of heat mats, heat mat controversy, etc. etc.  It's as much a potentially encyclopedic topic as Aquarium, I should think. --Glenfarclas (talk) 12:54, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
