Delete. An odd thing to write fiction about, but fiction it is. Opabinia regalis (talk) 03:44, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can only assume this is a hoax. There's absolutely nothing out there that uses this term. An 1880 medical treatise that appears in Google searches is an OCR failure for "pathology". Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:43, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Created by a single purpose editor with only three edits, all to this piece. Closing administrator should be sure to spank them. Carrite (talk) 13:26, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete per Carrite above. PianoDan (talk) 16:03, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
