Talk:Biofurs
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Anthropomorphing would be making an animal more human, not the other way around, therefore the edit.
Approptiate or not[edit]
The term seems to be appropriate: it's discussed here. The concept is even more appropriate, dating back to 1998 (Furnetics, AWFR) and having a prefix in furcode (T). EvilCat 02:57, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
- Is not in the term that the subject is inappropriate. It's the non-propagated use of this term/group, i.e. not long enough to be part of furry lore. The concept has always been there, not, again, this particular term and history of itself.
- Why not FurWares (Furry Wetwares), Animans, GenFurs, FurryDNAers, Furmans, Genomefurs, FurSkinners, Animobeings?,... It's easy to come up with any zillion terms/groups names related to the initial concept, just like this one for example, another "forced" term/group looking for an article. We already have the overall concept covered here and there,... Some of hits are years old, and haven't been updated since =/ - Spirou 08:23, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
- Then it's probably more appropriate to rename the article, but to which title? EvilCat 05:06, 26 September 2011 (EDT)
- Could scatter the content of this to such articles as Genetic engineering, but considering the need for cleanup and provision of references, I'm not sure that would be helpful. -- Sine 19:38, 24 October 2011 (EDT)
- I'm not seeing any wide useage of the term "Biofurs" and even less of "biological furries", although I didn't check Usenet. -- Sine 17:32, 7 March 2012 (EST)

- No hits on AFF, will go ahead and delete it. It can be recreated if the term propagates - Spirou 20:34, 7 March 2012 (EST)
Ok, so the article about popular furry topic was deleted because of non-popular name :\ If somebody would search for more appropriate name, they would have found that the discussed article could have been merged with Physical transformation. EvilCat 19:48, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
