Wiktionary already has an entry for connecting tubule. De-prodded without comment or further edits. James084 02:37, 20 February 2006 (UTC) I am willing to withdraw my nomination as David Iberri (talk) has graciously volunteered to adopt this article to love. Thanks David!!

• Keep, notable body part, per the comment in my edit summary. Kappa 02:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Needs work but otherwise this is a keeper. VirtualSteve 03:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but definitely needs expansion. Thatcher131 04:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Connecting tubule (or connecting duct, as we call it here in the United States) is a small part of the exquisitely intricate and almost completely understood nephron. Although this article is a stub, there is a great deal to say about the role of this particular part of the nephron in the normal production of urine. Agree with above that the current article is not WP:PERFECT as is and could stand improvement. -ikkyu2 (talk) 05:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and expand as a notable body part as per Ikkyu2. Capitalistroadster 05:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as notable body part. --Terence Ong 12:47, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete While notable, WP:WINAD & this is nothing more than a dict. def. right now. --Karnesky 13:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Anatomy article --Ruby 14:32, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep notable topic. -- Siva1979^{Talk to me} 16:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unless this is expanded, it is a dicdef which already exists in Wiktionary Avi 16:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - User withdrew and article will be expanded
• Keep as Kappa for one is evidently intending further work on it. Guy 22:37, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to collecting duct system. The anatomy and function of the system's components overlap considerably, so they should be discussed in the context of one another. --David Iberri (talk) 00:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • This idea has some merit. I could support it. -ikkyu2 (talk) 08:01, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect as above. Apologies if this vote is obselete - someone approached me to add my view due to my involvement in the preclinical medical project. PhatRita 16:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
