Nominated it as a speedy delete as a highly POV essay. User also removed the deletion notice unbeknownst to me. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment not a speedy. The criteria for speedy are limited to those at WP:CSD . DGG (talk) 00:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete obvious essay, and OR. If an article should be written on this topic, and I see no reason why there shouldn't be one, this would not be usable even as a starting point. DGG (talk) 00:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - essay / original work. Frank | talk 02:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changing to Neutral, per rewrite of the article, with a slight bent toward merging to Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. I am concerned that one is a condition and one is a disease related to the condition. For example, a seizure is a thing by itself, but a series of them over time may be epilepsy - and maybe not.

With the Rewrite, Change to Merge. Eauhomme (talk) 14:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Just an imperfect start to a notable topic. I have taken the article forward by improving it. AFD is not cleanup. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The obvious next step is to merge with Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. I prefer the simpler title. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note also that the article was nominated for deletion within one minute of its creation. Tsk. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Colonel Warden has cut out the POV essay. Now its just a stub that should be redirected to Laryangopharngeal reflux disease RogueNinja_talk 11:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect is not enough since there is content to be merged - I added material and retained material from the first draft. In any case, deletion is neither required or appropriate. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 12:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. Notable topic, though it doesn't need two articles. Klausness (talk) 12:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. Kudos for rewriting this. CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 18:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Eleassar. Stifle (talk) 18:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Checking in to change my vote to speedy keep. I'm no doctor and there was no way I'd have attempted a rewrite on a subject such as this. Marvelous save. Back to the break. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Klausness and Colonel Warden. (If you merge the articles, then please don't forget to merge the histories.) But see comments of Frank | talk , above, for an argument not to merge the two articles. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 16:09, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
