[edit] Posterior nucleus

There is no "posterior nucleus" of the thalamus. There is a grouping known as "posterior nuclei", but that would be a different page. The information provided on this page is incorrect, as well. It refers to secretion of ADH and oxytocin, which are secreted by the posterior lobe of the hypothalamus— an entirely different strcuture. Semiconscious 07:56, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• I would have said redirect to Posterior nuclei if there was such an article but since there's not, delete. Reyk 22:00, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• My point was that this article was confusing the posterior lobe of the hypothalamus with the posterior nuclei of the thalamus. The information presented was mixed combination of both topics. Semiconscious 23:27, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. Durova 22:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I really think they meant the hypothalamus, in which case it should be called posterior nucleus of the hypothalamus. This article contains no useful information, and should be deleted. It refers to a non-existent brain region. Nrets 01:32, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Billbrock 05:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This article is misnamed, and the content is covered (and more in-depth) in the properly-named article posterior pituitary. No sense in merging, since it's an incorrect name. —Brim 07:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Addendum: I just realized that hypothalamus links to this page posterior nucleus, so this article should be about the posterior nucleus of the hypothalamus, which does exist, as Nrets already pointed out. There is no posterior nucleus of the thalamus. I will rewrite this into a new stub article about the correct structure, and I change my vote to Keep. —Brim 07:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: But many things can be called posterior nucleus. I suggest we delete and change the stub to Posterior nucleus (hypothalamus). I'll change the link in hypothalamus. Nrets 16:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
