Hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

looks like a high-school essay. nothing salvageable except for maybe the ref-list and that would need to be checked out by someone with access to the books anyway. Law/Disorder 06:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge any useful content into Hummingbird, and perhaps keep the rest of it in a subpage of the talk page for future editing. This text is obviously a good faith attempt to contribute; it has references, it needs wikification and editing for clarity and style.  Ideally it should be flagged as  needing expert attention.  - Smerdis of Tlön 15:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge to Hummingbird, move to subtalk page, per Smerdis. That section could do with some expansion.--victor falk 20:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and/or Keep I think the context of the article is misdirected. There should be links to Symbiosis and Hummingbird and links to bridging articles which detail all types of these relationships, which I know are extensive and varied. scope_creep 21:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, maybe Merge to Hummingbird. I hate to say that I had to look up the definition of ornithophilous flowers, for which there is no article.  Sadly, this article doesn't identify which types of flowers are "ornithophilous" but the term is from ornitho (bird) and philo (love), and means flowers that are pollinated by birds.  I'm not sure that a merge would add anything... flowers that are pollinated by birds are likely to be pollinated by [pick the best answer] : (a) a vulture (b) an ostrich (c) a hummingbird Mandsford 02:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per Smerdis of Tlön and I hope someone will start ornithophilous flowers or at least redirect it to the appropriate existing article.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 10:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
