The result was redirect to List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes#G. Out-of-process WP:SNOW close. It seems we're unanimous on the idea that a redirect to the above is a reasonable outcome. Thanks all for quickly chiming in, and thanks to Clarityfiend for finding a good target. Ajpolino (talk) 05:39, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article is part dictionary definition and part index of words beginning with "gastro-", both of which are already at English Wikitionary. I don't see sources that discuss the prefix separately, so I don't think it's an independently notable topic. Basically Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

• Redirect to List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes#G, where it is already listed as "gastr-". Redirects are cheap. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:39, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Oh great! I didn't realize that page existed. Redirecting there is now my preferred outcome as well. Ajpolino (talk) 20:34, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:NOTDIC (but no strong objection to redirect, as Clarityfiend suggests). The article is not about the prefix as such, nor is there a single topic here beyond titles that contain the prefix. The linked articles are as different as chalk and cheese – or gastroliths and gastronomy. Cnilep (talk) 06:38, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
