WP:ESSAY. Orphaned for a decade. PepperBeast (talk) 17:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Biology and Organisms. PepperBeast (talk) 17:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The topic is notable, as evidenced from the reference list, and the sourcing is good. The article itself needs an awful lot of work, however. Needs to be cut down greatly and probably should have a different title, because the word "elastic" means a lot of different things in physics and the title doesn't quite capture the niche of the article. If this seems like too big a task, I could also support a selective merge to animal locomotion. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 18:10, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Has elements of essay style and is a bit rambling, but seems to constitute a well-referenced treatment of a distinct topic. Could probably be expanded further with a bit of work. Orphan status is so low on the scale of concerns as to be irrelevant.--Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:26, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
