Talk:Temporin

Contested deletion

This page was created mostly so that the page "rut fluid" could be redirected to it. I have chosen Temporin over Rut fluid as the link was already present in the article about musth, but the page has not been created yet.

As for the creating of the rut fluid page, I spent some time looking it up and there are plenty translations from Sanskrit that include this term, but it took me quite some time to find out that the more contemporary name is temporin and what exactly it is. So I believe this is a valid addition to Wikipedia.

Should this page be deleted, I still think the rut fluid page should be kept and redirected to musth. --Mmk (talk) 21:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

It also seems that temporin is a specific class of peptides found in secretions of certain frogs. I don't know nearly enough about this subject but I suggest the page is kept in hope that it will be expanded by someone more knowledgeable. -- Mmk (talk) 22:25, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Split

Currently, goog. search query "temporin" elephant -frog has >2× more hits than "temporin" frog -elephant, also the elephant meaning is the original one in this article, so this probably should be a topic of this article.
Thinking about new name for the separate peptide(s) (/frog) article, not sure – there are no articles named "… (peptide…" yet… —Mykhal (talk) 13:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

The frog peptide(s) meaning moved to Temporins. —Mykhal (talk) 13:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Oops, looks like I did forget about it. Thanks for the split! (I was originally thinking about moving the elephant stuff to just musth, and the frog stuff to a broader frog skin active peptide family (following InterPro at Frog skin active peptide family (Q41796591)), leaving "temporin" just as a disambig. But this works well enough.) --Artoria2e5 🌉 03:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
