Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stellated earflaps

Entire content is "Fleshy outer-ear, somewhat similar to a paper doily. Some believe an indicator of inter-breeding", is an orphan, andhas no history. --the Epopt 19:05, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. The author does have a brief history, in particular, of articles about birth defects. Obvously, he stumbled upon a piece of information not readily abailable elsewhere and (correctly, IMO) decided to put it here. Now it hits the google. I suggest to try and link it to somewhere visible, so that experts could reach and fix the stub. Mikkalai 19:58, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. A 15-second effort to create a one-sentence page which may be garbled in any of a number of ways. No refs, no context. If you "come across" a piece of obscure information, be sure to describe where/how you found it. The author has a few more days to come to VfD to defend the post, if he cares more about it than that hasty sentence suggests. +sj+ 09:34, 2004 Mar 6 (UTC)
• No vote. Delete. Hmmm. Only google hits seem to come from Wikipedia derivatives. If this is a real medical condition, perhaps it is under a different name/spelling? -- Decumanus 21:03, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. I couldn't find anything either. I tried various combinations of "earlobe," "ear," "morphology," "stellated," etc. Dpbsmith 23:50, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC) Keep and hopefully someday merge with an article on earlobe shapes and the inheritance thereof. The inheritance of earlobe shapes is a recognized topic in genetics courses and someone (not I) could write a very decent article about it. Dpbsmith 21:06, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• Delete - no such condition (or anything like it) in MEDLINE Hugh2414 21:44, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • This is not a health problem; just an anatomic trait. Mikkalai 01:07, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. I can find nothing either. I've searched for earlobes as well - I presume earflaps is colloquial. I presume a joke, I'm afraid. Secretlondon 22:12, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • The author was no joker. Mikkalai 01:07, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Reads like a joke to me. I can't find any hits, except sites that copy wikipedia. Maximus Rex 01:04, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• I didn't find either, but I urge you to delete it only after a qualified conclusion of a cynologist. It easy to prove the existence. Not so for non-existence, especially in rare areas of knowledge. Mikkalai 01:07, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Just an exercise, try to find semitulip ear or fiddle-fronted dog. Mikkalai 01:21, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • semi-tulip ear, fiddle fronted dog. Maximus Rex 01:25, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • How many google hits, pray tell me? These are not very frequent words to find at every Encarta and Barnes and Noble. Mikkalai 03:22, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • One google hit (a scan from a published book) is better than zero, which is what stellated earflaps gives right now, if you take out the Wikipedia contributions. I'm perfectly willing to change my vote if one verifiable piece of evidence can be presented that this condition actually exists, beyond the reputation of the original author.-- Decumanus 14:43, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
