Striation

Unlikely to ever be more than a dictdef, and already in Wiktionary. Grutness|^hello? 02:55, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) See below.

• Keep. Perfectly good bodybuilding term: eminently wikifiable (there are interesting techniques to acquire/enhance striation in this field of endeavour). The techniques alone are worth an entry; if someone could find a picture of Arnie showing his striations that would be an excellent start for an entry. Robinh 12:34, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• comment Well I've spent my lunch break making a start. It's not much, but maybe the bodybuilding wikipedians can make the article better. Robinh 12:44, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Unless some serious updating of the Wiktionary definition is done, it provides no clue as to the usage in geology or anatomy and the medical sciences and various other sciences. Of course, the article doesn't do much better, but it is a better place to make those distinctions. The Wiktionary link which is used in many of the geology articles is pretty useless; it would be better just to put "striations (stripes)" or striped or whatever the context calls for in the text, than to link to what's in the Wiktionary now.

• Keep Maybe more as a disambig page, pretty much as Gene said above. Vsmith 13:28, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, important concept in body building, geology, zebras etc. Kappa 21:04, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Seems to be an important concept in a number of fields. Capitalistroadster 00:56, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Hm. It seems to have more meanings than I thought. Okay - good work. I withdraw my nom. Grutness|^hello? 07:40, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
