Hirudiculture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nigh-dictionary definition, and I am not finding significant usage of this term online. Probably not a common term. &thinsp;&mdash; Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)&thinsp; 00:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to Leech. bd2412  T 01:12, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Was certainly notable in the 19th century, hence still notable now per WP:NTEMP. 8-page article, French book on the subject, 11-page article, modern book giving a take on historic hirudiculture. SpinningSpark 01:58, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Obscure but covered. Sources provided above should do. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:56, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies GNG. James500 (talk) 19:09, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment Well I think this is a minor subtopic of Leech and we could easily just merge to Leech. There is little to write about the culture of leeches as a separate topic and few detailed sources: presumably any special 'recipes' are kept secret for commercial reasons. The existing section says pretty much all we're going to get. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:36, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect per User:Chiswick Chap.--John M Wolfson (talk) 04:45, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Article is a stub, but as others have said, it can be worked on. — Mythdon 05:06, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * there is one !vote that is per your recommendation, which you have now deleted. Would you please explain where you now stands?  It is more usual to strike a comment you want to retract to avoid this sort of confusion, especially after others have replied to it. SpinningSpark 12:18, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * merge to Leech or to Hirudo medicinalis - this is an inappropriate split about how to "farm" leeches. Jytdog (talk) 01:00, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
