Parahuman[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Neologism for "human chimera" with no verifiable currency in third-party reliable sources - literally one usage is cited. There were a pile of sources that talked about the concept, but didn't use the word "parahuman" (old version); those were culled a few weeks ago, but no better ones have been added. Was PRODed, PROD was removed without ensuing improvement. Web searches mostly show a science fiction story using the term for "superheroes". There's a Transhumanism Wikia article which is a copy of an old version of this one, with the same reference problems. - David Gerard (talk) 09:51, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Appears to be transhumanism cruft better suited for a dedicated wiki. Sources are not forthcoming. jps (talk) 12:49, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above; we do not publish original research. Bearian (talk) 10:02, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unclear, to say the least, about whether this article discusses hypothetical biology or science fictional tropes; hence why it's tagged as both "genetic engineering" and "furry fandom". Unless that can be clarified, there's no concrete subject here. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 22:46, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to human-animal hybrid, which is a more common term than parahuman, and a common subject in science fiction and fantasy literature. Human-animal hybrid currently redirects to this page, but its revision history will be lost if the parahuman article is deleted. Jarble (talk) 02:39, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
