 * Transwiki those that can be sourced to Wiktionary. Delete the rest. Will (talk) 13:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki, agree that this is what Wiktionary is for. Circeus 13:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary- that's what it is there for Lurker  (said · done) 17:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per my reasoning at Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by subject I-Z. These are all sourced, too. --Fang Aili talk 14:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; Having it in Wikipedia keeps these related subjects together. &mdash; Val42 15:37, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the book Exaltation of Larks listed below deals not just with birds but with collective names for animals in general, and is a source for the notability of the topic, and, probably for each individual item--for which there will be other sources also. As mentioned, wiktionary does not contain lists of this sort. DGG (talk) 08:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an annotated list of closely-related words, otherwise known as a "glossary", as permitted by the stand-alone list guideline. Strong keep if Wiktionary does not accept such lists, which would prove that it does not fail WP:NOT. Also, this should be kept per the WP:CONSENSUS of hundreds of editors who have contributed to all of the collective nouns lists since 2001, most of whom are not being heard from in these discussions.

 * Strong Keep per DHowell. Mathmo Talk 23:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
