Human animal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Needs AfD attention. A dab-page that was put up by as WP:A11 but  boldly redirected to the WP album article Human Animal. There is also another valid dab-page called The Human Animal, which this article seems to also incorporate. Suspect that this needs a consensus on whether this term should be used on WP. I suspect that this is not the first time this term has been discussed at AfD.Britishfinance (talk) 11:11, 21 January 2019 (UTC) Britishfinance (talk) 11:11, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as useful disambiguation page. Bondegezou (talk) 11:46, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Human Animal. There's no need for two dab pages, and only one entry doesn't include "The". per PamD. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:22, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect this again to Human Animal; there is now a hatnote there (I added it just now) to point to the dab page at The Human Animal. I think that covers all angles tidily. Pam  D  14:29, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I think dab pages are actually supposed to go to MfD not AfD? Doesn't bother me, might bother some. Pam  D  14:31, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Dab pages are a type of article (of sorts), so this is the correct place for nominating them (see the first paragraph of WP:AFD). MfD doesn't concernt itself with stuff in the article namespace. – Uanfala (talk) 15:03, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect per User:PamD. Wasn't aware that there was a separate dab page at the time (or that the page creator had reverted my edit a few days later). LynxTufts (talk) 19:12, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep as useful disambiguation page, around widely used concepts often in conjunction human animal and nonhuman animal; also in human versus nonhuman species analysis; In biology and personhood category.. redirects that have been undone; The Human Animal with capital letters, refers to books films with this specific title; "the" is not recommended as beginning of pages.(talk) Yves.bertin (talk) 10:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * But that is the issue. There is no scientific-term "Human animal".  Your Talk Page entry for this article, and the links that you sought to create in the article to other WP biology articles (which have since deleted by another editor, ), indicate that you are looking to establish such a term.  I don't think that is a proper use of a Human animal article as a dab-page. It probably means that this page always be subject to such incorrect use.

 * When whole books in different languages have been written on this specific subject, it would be incorrect to deny that this terms exists, is used, has specific fields of meanings, which may be listed in such a dab page. Yves.bertin (talk) 20:19, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Human Animal as R from other capitalisation. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Human Animal; hatnote linking to The Human Animal is sufficient disambiguation. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 00:59, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
