BicepBicep (disambiguation) – This should be a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to biceps. As stated in that article, "The English form bicep [sic], attested from 1939, is a back formation derived from interpreting the s of biceps as the English plural marker -s." The term is especially used as an adjective, as in "bicep curls", and is found in several dictionaries (e.g., dictionary.com, wordreference.com and Oxford). I encountered it here when reviewing sources in the Arroyo Grande Jane Doe article. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:05, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Support 'Bicep' redirected to 'Biceps', where else? Common name, common sense. Good find. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. A no-brainer. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:57, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. This dab page replaced the redirect in 2017 after it had pointed to biceps since January 2004. It wouldn't have been controversial if you had just boldly moved the dab page. —Xezbeth (talk) 10:06, 25 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, clear primary topic of the term. bd2412 T 11:09, 25 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Per everyone else, clear primary topic per WP:PLURALPT (just for the reverse, Scissor redirects to Scissors). Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:20, 26 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nom. On completion please amend hatnote at target to point to both disambiguation pages. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:25, 26 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
