Wikipedia is not a dictionary, possible original research. Prod was removed by author without comment. J Milburn (talk) 21:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - given the terrible prose of the article, there's a case for nonsense as well, but the material here should be in the article on the respective genus; it has no context outside of it. MSJapan (talk) 21:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't see it as being attributed to reliable sources so WP:OR. Also I don't see it as being a notable article. Nk.sheridan     Talk  22:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Information about wing length in the insects should surely be covered in relevant articles for each species rather than in an independent article such as this.  Nk.sheridan     Talk  22:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Terribly written text where even the subject is diffucult to identify. No sources or citations, looks like OR. Nsk92 (talk) 03:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not nonsense, although it's a bit too close to it for my tastes. I don't think it's OR, but no refs are given so that's possible. If there are known genetic classifications of insects (as a group or certain species) as into "short winged" and "long winged" (as indeed there are ) then that should be in Insects or an insect genetics article, or possibly into articles about specific species, genera or families.
