RFV discussion: February–March 2018
Rfv-sense: A process in which individual organisms or phenotypes that possess favourable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce: the differential survival and reproduction of phenotypes.

Tagged but not listed. I am not really clear how this differs significantly from the first definition. The two definitions have been in place since entered them in March, 2006. But if someone wants to add cites that make the distinction clear, or describe the distinction to me well enough that I can find the cites, it would be a good thing.

 * I think it's trivial to show that it is a duplicate definition, and I would say it could be removed without even being RFV'ed. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:45, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but since both definitions were added by the same editor at the same time, he or she presumably had SOME distinction in mind. Kiwima (talk) 05:02, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Back then, we didn't have the standard that each definition had to be distinct. It was acceptable to have one definition from a organismal biology perspective and another from a genetics perspective. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I sometimes wonder if it would be possible/useful to get a list of all pages that were created before, say, 2006 (supposedly only ~100k entries), or 2007 (~300k), to check them for this kind of thing. It'd be especially useful if entries with only one definition per POS could then be filtered out. - -sche (discuss) 06:11, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

RFV-resolved - the two entries have been merged. Kiwima (talk) 20:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
