[edit] Boil (disambiguation)

  • I have moved this here from Boil. I believe that the skin infection and the change of phase of matter are the only two things that a user might reasonably be wanting to look up when searching for "boil". The other two entries on this page are dictionary entries. I have moved the infection, which was previously at "Boils", to Boil and added a line at the top clarifying that information about the phases of matter and the boiling point can be found in those respective articles. — Timwi 19:03, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, I don't understand. You are asking us to delete the disambiguation page? Why? -- Jmabel | Talk 02:11, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
    • The user seems to think that only the common definitions should be included (the skin condition and the change of phase), therefore a disambig is unnecessary. I respectfully disagree. --L33tminion | (talk) 17:02, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm with L33tminion on this: this seems harmless at worst. Can't think of any reason to delete it. Keep. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:46, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep by all means. Even if it's true that "the skin infection and the change of phase of matter are the only two things that a user might reasonably be wanting to look up" we'd still need a disambig page for them. --Angr 09:38, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, I see no reason to delete this disambiguation page. Megan1967 08:59, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Note: I think we should united boil and abscess in one article. Boil is just a form of abscess I think. --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 18:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
