Unreferenced dictionary article Rathfelder (talk) 12:00, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are numerous books entirely devoted to the subject of veterinary epidemiology, which seems to be the more common term.--Pontificalibus 12:15, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep Clearly a very widely used term in the academic literature, as even a cursory WP:BEFORE search of PubMed or Google Scholar would reveal. Even "epizootiology" returns 1,257 results in PubMed. IntoThinAir (talk) 14:12, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So can we agree what the article is to be called? If veterinary epidemiology is the commoner term let's move this article to that title for a start. Rathfelder (talk) 15:22, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Rathfelder Per https://tools.wmflabs.org/redirectviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-20&sort=views&direction=1&view=list&page=Epizootiology Veterinary epidemiology pales in comparision to Epizoology, at least as a redirect search term, so I would advise Epizoology here. Which is a shortened and easier term than the one right now.v On the other side, more search hits comes from google for the one you and Poni mentioned.

We should follow the sources, which indicate that veterinary epidemiology is now the preferred term (e.g. 1 , 2). This is likely why the textbooks on the subject use that term, whereas Epizootiology/Epizoology tend to be used by authors talking about specific cases rather than the subject as a whole.--Pontificalibus 16:43, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep, and then we can decide which term to use for the article name. Bondegezou (talk) 12:00, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
