This page does not meet the minimum quality and sourcing requirements for medical information. All 26 of the pages in this set should be treated the same way; presumably they will be tagged in a day or so if this isn't a SNOW keep. User:力 (powera, π,  ν ) 00:33, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTDICT. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 03:03, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep List of medical abbreviations and this article and all like it, all of them found in Category:Lists of medical abbreviations, should be kept. You can click on any link and find the information in the main article.  Any medical textbook should contain all of this information as well.  This is clearly valid encyclopedic information.

 * Keep It is a Wikipedia glossary that would benefit from wikignoming rather than deletion. Thincat (talk) 11:27, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, not sure how deleting this would benefit anybody—seems like a way to make it harder to find information. P Aculeius (talk) 13:04, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep this is a glossary, not a dictionary, and AfD is WP:NOTCLEANUP Dronebogus (talk) 13:12, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep This serves much the same purpose as Glossary of medicine. Explaining what terms or abbreviations mean does not constitute WP:Biomedical information, so the stronger sourcing requirements for medical content outlined at WP:MEDRS do not apply. If there are quality issues, deletion is not the way to address them. TompaDompa (talk) 13:38, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Saying that AXR can be short for "abdominal X-ray" is not the kind of information for which WP:MEDRS comes into play. If the page said that such-and-such a condition is typically diagnosed by taking an abdominal X-ray, sure; this, no. The Biomedical information supplemental page excludes Etymology and definitions from the scope of WP:MEDRS. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 17:07, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
