Catlin (surgery)[edit]

This article is even worse than a stub, a single useless sentance. Hopeless for those who want to do some serious research on the item. It contains no refrences to helpful websites whatsoever and neither does it boast a single picture. Basically I think this article is a waste of space, I've seen more informative topics deleted therefore and see no need for the existance of this.

Note: I know the catergory for this AfD seems odd (as Catlin is actually in a catergory), but it was the most sensible option I could take.A Prodigy ~In Pursuit of Perfection~ 18:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article is going to be transwikied to Wiktionary. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 18:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So I suspect that it will be deleted anyway? I wasn't too sure whether it would be in the process, hence half the reason why I nominated this. A Prodigy ~In Pursuit of Perfection~ 19:12, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Transwiki away. I added a source, but I agree that this is more of a dictionary topic than a Wikipedia article. Besides it's too easy to confuse with Caitlin, and what little girl wants to be told that she was named after a surgical instrument used for the amputation of limbs?

God, transwiki - Not even close to meeting the inclusion guidelines. Gotta check up on older AFDs now. --Lord ₪Sunday 21:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Article has been expanded and referenced. ~ Ningauble (talk) 00:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. per improvements since nom. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 02:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - New version of article is much improved. A catlin belongs in Wikipedia just as much as a catheter or a mandolin, two objects with lengthy entries.FellGleaming (talk) 15:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I change my mind. After seeing how much the article has grown, with a picture, references and a new In Fiction section, I now think it is worth keeping. All I guess we have to do now is to wait for an administrator to close this discussion -_-. A Prodigy ~In Pursuit of Perfection~ 16:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
