Is this attested, so spelled in lowercase? google books:"xanthocroic", google groups:"xanthocroic", “xanthocroic”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:16, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

This casing is attested with this, this, and this. Kiwima (talk) 18:33, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

xanthocroic

Incorrect spelled - see xanthochroic (and Xanthochroi). — Paul G (talk) 05:45, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

• I would rather consider it an alternative form, given how common it is in even academic work on Google Books. Ƿidsiþ 08:17, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
• Converted into a misspelling, and kept. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:35, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
• Unstriken: this is not an obvious keeper per WT:CFI#Spellings, and therefore, a super fast closure faster than the normal length seems inappropriate. xanthocroic, xanthochroic at the Google Books Ngram Viewer. does not find the spelling; google books:"xanthocroic" does not find that many occurrences, and in lowercase "x" I am not even sure it is attested. Arguably, this is a relatively rare misspelling, and per WT:CFI#Spellings, "Rare misspellings should be excluded while common misspellings should be included". --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:09, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
• Delete as a rare misspelling given xanthocroic, xanthochroic, Xanthocroic, Xanthochroic at the Google Books Ngram Viewer. does not find the spelling. As for the possible objection that it is rare but not a misspelling, the mis- is hinted at by "ch" being expected based on χρώς (khrṓs), from which the term is derived. google books:xanthocroic. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:32, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

• Keep as a {{misspelling of}}. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:14, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete. PUC – 13:42, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

No consensus to delete. Reading comments by Ƿidsiþ and SemperBlotto as favoring keeping the entry, there is an absence of consensus after well over a year to reach one. bd2412 T 05:54, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
