[edit] Juvenile Diabetes

Delete until someone writes a better article. Ground 00:17, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, list on Cleanup. RickK 00:20, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, or redirect to Diabetes mellitus, although Juvenile diabetes (without the caps) would be a better choice, and probably should be a redirect anyway. I'll go ahead and create that now, in fact. In any case, the material is already well-covered at Diabetes mellitus#Type 1 diabetes mellitus. If that section is expanded significantly it could be spun off into a new article but for now I think it's fine where it is. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the currently-accepted name (at least in the U.S.) for what was formerly called juvenile or juvenile-onset diabetes, as especially in Western countries as obesity rises, increasing numbers of children are developing type 2 diabetes (formerly adult-onset diabetes). — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 00:35, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Knowledge Seeker covered it. iMeowbot~Mw 00:52, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Made into redirect . Mikkalai 01:00, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Merge anything useful to Diabetes mellitus and then add redirect. Megan1967 01:47, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect works. DCEdwards1966 02:52, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the redirect Knowledge seeker made. Works for me. Mgm|^(talk) 08:58, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • To clarify, since I was a bit unclear: I just now created the article Juvenile diabetes as a redirect after seeing this VFD nomination, but I hesitated to modify this article (Juvenile Diabetes) without a bit of consensus, as I'm still new here. Mikkalai made the redirect—I don't want to take credit for anothers' work. — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 09:50, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the redirect. --foobaz·✎ 22:53, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• The redirect seems to work well. Greaser 06:07, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. It's what type 1 diabetes used to be called, after all. --Deathphoenix 03:22, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
