I am sceptical about the reliability of this article. The references are from blogs and discussion boards, hardly consistent with WP:SOURCES. It's very surprising that such a phenomenom has no Ghits in the English language, or any medical or scientific references. WWGB ( talk) 05:48, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

The photo seems too blurry to distinguish it from a hangnail. If it's so hard to find a convincing photo it must be a pretty rare condition. -- Vaughan Pratt ( talk) 18:37, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I took a very clear photo of my very not hangnail toenail. I have no Chinese lineage. Enjoy. DigitalGadget 04:46, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
what a silly article describing a silly variation in human appendage nail growth
I'm caucasion and have been clipping off these silly broken side extensions of small toe nail for years
anyone bother to consider the effects of footwear, ie shoes, sandals, etc?
or maybe a hardened callus?

I am unsure of the prevalence of this condition, but there seems to be almost no mention of it anywhere on the internet. This is so perplexing because while the condition is mundane to the layman, any inherited traits, if indeed this is what it is, is an interest to geneticists and evolution biologists. The only credible source I have found is a medical paper published by the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Chiayi in Taiwan. This paper has been archived at the US National Library of Medicine. The paper is entitled: Inherited accessory nail of the fifth toe cured by surgical matricectomy. This paper was published in 2004 and I wonder why the original contributor did not bother to reference it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.152.132.224 ( talk) 07:17, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm a native Korean living in Korea. My paternal ancestor is said to have come from China continent, and I have fancied long that my ancestor had come from Mongolia or Siberia or the Central Asia, ultimately, just via China continent. I'm very disappointed at my possible Han tribe lineage. LOL. You know, Han tribe named every people surrounding them as barbarians, and constructed Great Wall which was supposed to protect themselves from the Northern and Eastern barbarians. I read about accessory toenails ago, describing differently as the trait of Mongolians. Could I find more clues on this: the witnesses who claim their tribal identity and the existence of this accessory toenail?
BTW, the exemplary image in this document is not good in my eyes. The toenail looks a split one. Korean version has a proper one. :)

I wonder if this trait actually exists on a continuum, with a milder variant simply being an unusually concave (but not bifurcated) toenail on the pinky toe.
I’m a grown man in my 30s (and not even Asian, in case you were wondering). For a very long time, the fifth toenail on one of my feet had been growing extremely concave, almost like a saddle shape, which was really inconvenient (that shape of nail is hard to trim and generally uncomfortable). Then, very recently, it just split and and the result now looks exactly like one of these (and is far less unwieldy than before). Nails in younger people have less of a tendency to split vertically, so it makes sense that this trait might sometimes take a while to appear too. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:6466 ( talk) 17:42, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
