The article is a dictionary definition contradicting WP:NOTDICT. A WP:BEFORE search found only online dictionary sources (not enough for WP:N) and will likely remain a WP:Permastub. Also, the disambiguation page has very similar content to this stub so this article should be deleted and replaced by the disambiguation page. -KAP03(^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 20:49, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep or merge . A distinct part of human anatomy. If you think the article has no chance to grow, the proper solution is to merge somewhere. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:56, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. It seems that you misunderstand the meaning of WP:NOTDICT. This article is about a thing, not about a word. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:58, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

P.P.S. Moving the DAB page here might be a good idea. You may want to request a page move. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:06, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, body parts are notable. Note I rescued this page from AFD once before, back in 2006. It never used ([1]) to be as short as it was last week, a series of well-meaning editors had progressively butchered it ([2]) down to a dictionary definition. fish&karate 11:39, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
