Oppose merger, the Itai Itai disease is an example where cadmium poisoning affected a large number of people. The description of the symptoms can be moved to cadmium poisoning, but the specifics for this instance deserve its sepatare article -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- All right, I see your point. It's parallel to the situation with Minamata disease and mercury poisoning — Minamata disease is a specific notable instance so it deserves its own article. But if they shouldn't be merged, they should be coordinated with each other, know what I mean? —Keenan Pepper 17:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

- For example, the "Clinical effects" section has nothing particular to this instance, so it should be completely merged into Cadmium poisoning. —Keenan Pepper 17:16, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with you. With the description of the symptoms i meant the clinical effects, these can be abbreviated and the original text moved/merged to Cadmium poisoning. -- Chris 73 | Talk 22:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
