Blastocytosis hominis[edit]

contested prod. I'm not certain about afd'ing this article, but... I can find very few ghits for "Blastocytosis hominis" (only 73 if you include WP and non-English hits). Worse: Google Scholar lists only four hits for the term. So is this a non-notable disease? Looks that way to me. andy (talk) 23:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have to admit, I am not an expert on which diseases are 'notable' and which ones are not. My guess is that any disease that is accepted as "a disease" (parasitic infection, actually) by the medical community is notable in a defacto kind of way, just as "places" are automatically notable. Searching indicates that the disease is real, is known, is talked about at least by some in reputable sources. If the policy *is* that all defined diseases are automatically notable (my guess) I would say it would be a good candidate for withdrawal. Pharmboy (talk) 02:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an implausible search term based on a misspelling, or redirect to Blastocystosis, where the disease and the infectious agent Blastocystis are discussed in detail. Deor (talk) 04:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agree with Deor as redirect is not feasible. Cyto and cyst are different--Lenticel ^(talk) 07:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

D'oh! - I never thought it might be a misspelling. andy (talk) 10:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nor I, since I was getting hits with the misspelling. Pharmboy (talk) 15:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to Blastocystosis, as per comment of Deor. —SlamDiego_←T 11:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - perhaps someone who understands more biology that I do could look at the article creators' other contributions, some of which seem fairly weak? andy (talk) 12:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and Delete. The redirect is needed, since this misspelling is seemingly spread around a bit. There's nothing in this article that needs saving; Blastocystosis is pretty comprehensive. Tim Ross·^talk 18:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Not much point to the former (turning the page into a redirection) if then the latter (deletion of the page). —SlamDiego_←T 18:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Good point - just turning the page into a redirect would suffice. Tim Ross·^talk 18:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
