I'm considering expanding this article to include discussion of other manikins similar to TAM, but predating her by several decades. These include the Transparent Men and Women produced by the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden and the German Health Museum (apparently now defunct) in Cologne, and the Visible Man and Woman plastic models originally produced by Renwall and later marketed by Revell, Lindberg, and Skilcraft.
But before I do so, I realize there are multiple possible routes that we could take, and we probably should have some consensus on which approach would be best.
It appears that this article began under the title "Transparent anatomical manikin" but then moved to to current title, perhaps with the idea of adding discussions of other types of medical manikins, currently described in Mannequin under "Medical education" and "Emergency services training". It seems the rationale for this was the belief that there was a distinction between the spellings "manikin" and "mannequin". It appears from my research, so far, that the distinction is not so clear cut, with both spellings being used for both usages.
Also, the current redirects to this page include:
Other than Manikins, all of these redirects concern the transparent subset of manikins I'm considering writing about.
With this all said, I can think of a couple ways to proceed. My preference, if there are no objections would be to:
Another alternative, if there is strong feeling that this article should remain with the current title would be to:
I am a newbie, WP:DONTBITE and haven't tried renaming articles before, so I'm not quite sure what's involved. Perhaps more experienced folks have some better insight as to what approach would work best, given the tools we have. I expect my additions would create a rather full article on its own, but realize that there must have been a reason for renaming it to "Manikin" in the first place.
Any thoughts or concerns?? Thanks!

According to the Mannequin article these are simply different spellings of the same word. Rathfelder ( talk) 21:57, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Andrewa's comment seems a valid one. Although an article could be written on more general medical mannequins, this article isn't it - it is focused solely on the Rush model, which is a proper name. — Amakuru ( talk) 15:17, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Nom says Unless "Transparent Anatomical Manikin" is a tradename, which it is. Supporter agrees it's a trademark but then states there is a slightly wider article to be written. But this is not that article. No case to answer. Andrewa ( talk) 00:14, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
