Hi

I added the definition of fastidious from answers.com which defined it as "Having complicated nutritional requirements." Please do not remove it as Blood agar contains this word which needs a definition. Flowright138 (talk) (contributions) 09:50, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of the notability issue; however, I think we can expand more on it by including some examples of fastidious organisms and examples of media in which those fastidious organisms can grow on. But please allow me time to add content over time. Flowright138 (talk) (contributions) 09:50, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

Should the title of this article be "fastidiousness" or "fastidious microbes?" It seems unusual to have an encyclopedia article titled with an adjective. --TeaDrinker (talk) 01:26, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not even "fastidious (microbe)" works because its not actually a noun. As an adjective, I agree it is unusual. I can't really see how this could ever get to Featured Article status (which is the end goal for all articles). I'd say "Fastidious" better belongs in Wikidictionary or the like. Jesse V.

Plenty of articles could never be brought to FA status, but that in itself doesn't make them illegitimate. That said, I agree that the definition of "fastidious" in biology belongs at wikt:fastidious. I suggest that information about media for growing fastidious microbes belongs at Growth medium#Enriched media, and information about fastidious microbes themselves belongs in a new section at Microbial ecology. Better to present this information within broader articles that provide context, I think. Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 06:22, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@ teadrinker. You did raise a point, I just noticed that having an adjective is unusual. @jessemv. Indeed, my original intention was to define the word. Since it was a word that does not come up in everyday language, I thought that it was necessary to make its own wikipedia page for it. I suppose that is not a valid reason to start a new page so, which is why I thought throwing in more content would hopefully be enough. But, I guess not all English words has its own wikipedia page. So, I am happy to have this article remove again. But in contrast, would it be possible to link the word fastidious to the wikidictionary page, as a click able link? Or is that not allowed due to the wikipedia hyperlinking standard?

I think there is some merit to this article as this term does seem to be fairly commonly used (see for example PubMed and Google). However this article should be renamed. My suggestion is "fastidious organism". Boghog (talk) 06:26, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to change the name to "Fastidious organisms". So how do I do that? Flowright138 (talk) (contributions) 02:09, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If there is consensus to Move this article to "Fastidious organisms" I would be happy to do that. I have never moved an article before so if noone has any objections I can take care of that. Are we all agreed to move to "Fastidious organisms"? Just want to make sure, since we can't undo the move apparently. :D Jesse V. (talk) 02:44, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done I was WP:BOLD and went ahead and renamed this article. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 14:31, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Jesse V. (talk) 15:49, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
