anthroconidia
I think this is a typo or tongue slip of. It is well attested, but almost all Google Books hits (that aren’t scannos) use anthralgia once or twice and arthralgia much more often elsewhere. — Ungoliant (falai) 01:50, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

 * When works which use a nonstandard spelling x also use the standard spelling y, that is IMO the clearest possible indication that x is a misspelling or typo (short of addenda to or subsequent edition of the works outright specifying that x was a mistype). Anthralgia is not even a common misspelling; arthralgia is a thousand times more common. I would delete anthralgia. Anthroconidia is so much rarer than arthroconidia that it doesn't even appear in ngrams; I would delete it, too. - -sche (discuss) 07:43, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Delete both per -sche. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 20:18, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep anthralgia as a common misspelling: gives a handsome frequency ratio of 1000 in copyedited corpus. Compare e.g. ; beleive. In CFI, it is WT:CFI. For frequency ratio calibration, see User talk:Dan Polansky/2013. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:29, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * But how many of those are scannos, i.e. cases like this where the text does say "arthralgia" but Google thinks it says "anthralgia"? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:12, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * On the 1st page of with 10 hits, I find only one scanno. So that looks good. Someone may want to examine more pages of the results. Even if every 2nd hit were a scanno, we would have frequency ratio of 2000 instead of 1000, which is still fine for a common misspelling by my lights. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:24, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Abstain on anthroconidia: absent from GNV, only 15 hits in . It probably should not be kept as per Dan Polansky (talk) 16:29, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * is the plural of . occurs 4 times (~3%) in Google books with preview, whereas  occurs about 135 time in Google books with preview. In contrast, another misspelling,, occurs 11 times (~8%). Ie,  has a better claim for being a common misspelling than . DCDuring TALK  18:14, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * anthroconidia deleted by -sche; anthralgia not yet decided. @User:-sche: Can you explain why factor 1000 in the copyedited corpus of Google Ngram Viewer does not establish a common misspelling for anthralgia, based on the data that you have used to establish a threshold of commonness? Can you name some 7 items that you consider to be common misspellings? --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:37, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

No consensus to delete anthralgia. bd2412 T 15:03, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
