On one hand, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. On the other hand, some of this material could be useful to the pages on viable and viability on Wiktionary. Not really sure on this one.  Dylan 620  (contribs, logs, review) 14:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, the viability of a fetus is an encyclopedic topic. Polarpanda (talk) 19:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary and that's all this is: a list of dictionary definitions. The only reference is Merriam-Webster. --MelanieN (talk) 22:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN
 * That's because it's not finished. M-W won't tell you how the viability of a fetus, a seed, or a company is determined. Polarpanda (talk) 23:21, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No, M-W won't tell you that. And this article doesn't either. It just parrots the dictionary definitions of the word. You appear to be looking for an article titled Viability of fetus. A subsection "viability" already exists at the article Fetus. That application of the adjective "viable" is just one of the possible meanings listed here - out of three. And that meaning of the noun "viability" is one of the possible meanings listed here - out of five.  --MelanieN (talk) 07:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC)MealnieN


 * Keep, surely this could be turned into a disambiguation page if nothing else? Nyttend (talk) 00:12, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... could this and this constitute an appropriate disambiguation page? -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs, review) 21:14, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Since viable is already a redirect to this page, I think that these results would definitely be good components of such a page. Nyttend (talk) 22:16, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, withdrawn so that this can be turned into a disambiguation page. I'll get to this sometime tomorrow, also with transferring some of the useful cont here over to Wiktionary. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs, review) 02:49, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
