[edit] Butt Acne

Butt Acne (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Everything in this (rather unencyclopedic) article is already covered by Acne. TheMile (talk) 04:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete no meaningful information, possibly salvage what little information is there and merge into Acne.  Atyndall93 | talk  04:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete vandalism. WillOakland (talk) 05:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - no content that isn't covered generally in Acne. Doc Tropics 05:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete; not notable separately from acne in general. The only information that doesn't appear in Acne is that acne can occur on the buttocks; perhaps this could be added to Acne? (The two sources cited in this article, though they are advertisements, seem to verify the article.) AnturiaethwrTalk 05:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect to acne.--Berig (talk) 08:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. KleenupKrew (talk) 10:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge into acne instead, doesn't need own page, although this is a real problem (sources) Smuckers (talk) 18:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Make redirect Doesn't need to be separate from acne. I can't believe it, but the ELs in the article and g-hits seem to indicate that it's not vandalism, but a real medical term. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:14, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to acne. If it weren't for the AfD, I would have boldly redirected it. B.Wind (talk) 04:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Term with very limited use. If we redirect this, do we have a redirect for every colloquial term for a body part that may have acne? Content is nonsense that contradicts main acne article, nothing there worth keeping. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - and make redirect to sweat rash or folliculitis. Nothing useful worth preserving. Its a created term that has no medical recognition as a real disorder (find the specific ICD10 WHO code) and it does not even count as a form of acne and certainly not acne vulgaris ("vulgar" in its original meaning here of "common"). Surely the sweat/grime etc cause and resulting spots counts as sweat rash & folliculitis. David Ruben Talk 18:20, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Essentially nonsense, and sophomoric to boot. We have standards...  Frank  |  talk  23:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
    Further comment - It may exist, but it doesn't mean it deserves its own article. Not distinct from acne.  Frank  |  talk  12:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Make Redirect I don't understand why people don't think Butt Acne occurs. Butt Acne is a real problem and is identified by dermatologist. It is no different than back acne. 71.113.130.43 (talk) 07:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Medicine-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 23:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The external links referring to this condition are non-medical and they and the article describe one/more conditions that are probably not true acne. A quick websearch suggests that "butt acne" does exist as a colloquial term for pimples on the buttocks, but there is a big range in what is being described and none of it bears much resemblance to true acne, although that condition certainly can appear on the buttocks.
