Keep Unfortunately polytely appears also to be a term in biology: in invertebrate zoology it means "breeding several times in a lifetime"^[1] while in botany it refers to the presence of flowers.^[2]. However Google Books and Scholar searches reveal sufficiently many hits apparently referring to this definition to suggest notability.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] Cusop Dingle (talk) 17:54, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:Since the serious issue that initiated the deletion request is now moot this article passes the criteria for a "speedy keep" closure (if there are no objections) or as an alternative, "...as a polite request not to waste everyone's time.", a snowball close Otr500 (talk) 10:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
