Merging feline acne into cat skin disorders

Opposed. Cat skin disorders is a general overview and allows no details of particular conditions. V.B. (talk) 03:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged what i think it should be like. Talk a look if its wrong feel free to change it. Halgo123 Remember to vote for my RaF

Time for a major discussion: I believe it can be merged only after this page is significantly improved. Bramble claw x 02:13, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with V.B. TomCat4680 (talk) 12:19, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree with V.B. and Brambleclawx. Also, feline acne appears to be a minor annoyance for cat and owner, compared to the life-altering diseases covered in Cat skin disorders. I could jump over to the Cats article, but I'll stay here and ask that you pardon my ignorance, and tell me if there is a care section (beyond feeding, exercise, neutering). If so, Feline acne could be merged there. Cortina2 (talk) 00:39, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it all comes down to whether the feline acne article passes the notability and reliable sources guidelines. The feline acne article currently has reliable sources (looks like veterinary books) that contribute to the factual accuracy of the article, but I'm not sure they demonstrate that this is a notable condition. However, Googling "feline acne" produces many hits. If someone can find a couple of articles in non-specialist literature about this condition, then I say the article is notable and should not be merged. On the other hand, if it seems like this article is about a rare and non-notable condition, then perhaps a merger is warranted. Given that there are many hits with a Google search, I'm certainly leaning against merger. PDCook (talk) 01:42, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
