==Splitting article in dominant and recessive==
I would like to propose splitting this article in two articles, one for the dominant form and one for the recessive form. The two forms are quite different from each other and I think it is probably confusing to describe them both in one article. --[[User:Wouterstomp|WS]] 00:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Splitting article in dominant and recessive

I would like to propose splitting this article in two articles, one for the dominant form and one for the recessive form. The two forms are quite different from each other and I think it is probably confusing to describe them both in one article. --WS 00:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Arcadian (talk) 23:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re-merge or Delete?

The page for the Dominant form of the disease is much more descriptive and complete than this page, and this page gives the impression that it is the only wikipedia page on the subject (I would not have found the page for the Dominant form without checking the discussion). I recomend either removing this page and directing users to a disambiguation page, or re-merging the Dominant and Recessive pages. Failing that, a recomendation to go to the Dominant page (or Recessive page) should be prominently placed, to help users find the information they want.Chris45215 (talk) 02:18, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd oppose the re-merge, but support the addition of introductory text to clarify the relationships among these entities. --Arcadian (talk) 18:43, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
