[edit] Booger

• Merge with mucus. Booger is not the proper scientific name-I agree it should be merged with Mucus.
• Merge with mucus. Booger is not the scientific name for dried nasal mucus. booger is slang. This article if it is to exist should be under a scientific name 64.12.116.71 20:02, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but choose between snot and booger. I personally prefer snot, but since it disambiguates here, whatever. While I do not support merging, I do support changing the name to a more scientific term. ~GMH 07:16, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Such as "nasal mucus"?...Just a possibility.~GMH 06:35, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Since when does Wikipedia only document scientific names? See also, the previous deletion debate. --Mysidia (talk) 04:01, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Some articles should be under lay synonyms (e.g. vomiting vs. emesis) but not under slang terms. Others do better when they go under a scientific name; this should be done if the term itself is imprecise (e.g. stroke is less specific than cerebrovascular accident).

• Keep. A well written article DEng 11:06, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Mucus (oh dear I'm a sheep) --realwingus 10:01, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• This never got added to the main VfD page until now; adding. No vote. JYolkowski // talk 15:47, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to mucus, and this term should definitely be mentioned in that article. Meelar (talk) 17:46, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to mucus. -- BD2412 ^talk 18:38, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. For fuck's sake, people. -HX 22:23, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to mucus. Wasn't that what we already decided? In (click, click) July? Why are we discussing this again? Dpbsmith (talk) 23:45, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to mucus. Nandesuka 02:46, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --InvaderJim42 04:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. This is what had been decided previously. Proto t c 12:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. For fuck's sake, people. (Agreed.)
• Merge to mucus -- (☺drini♫|☎) 19:14, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep As is, but cleanup a little bit. Booger, as a word, has more interest than mucus and would be totally inappropriate there. Hell, this article is already longer than that at mucus.SchmuckyTheCat 00:15, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
• Move to nasal secretion and cleanup. JFW | T@lk 17:26, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I feel the importance of the term booger needs to be given equal status to other encyclopedic terms because of its importance to our youth today. Sorna Doon 09:01, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I think this would take over mucus if added there. I'm not totally against finding a suitable blanket term for booger, snot, etc... but, it doesn't belong on the same page as mucus. gren グレン 09:09, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• I posted under my friend's name as we are visiting each other... and I forgot to change login... so, now I am fixing my mistake. gren グレン 09:09, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
