The result of the proposal was not moved per evidence provided that current title is far more common is reliable English language sources than suggested move target. By the way, this site is called Wikipedia, not wiki. A wiki is any website using wiki software; there are thousands of them.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:21, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Zuska's diseaseZuska-Atkin's disease — This disease is known globally as Zuska-Atkin's disease. The only authority using just Zuska's disease is wiki. It is not accurate, and it doesn't give appropriate credit to Atkin's nor does it refer to the most common name (Zuska-Atkin's disease). In medical books/literature it is always referred to as Zuska-Atkin's disease. Somed11 (talk) 23:54, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: I can see that Zuska-Atkin's disease is a term that is used in medical texts. Nevertheless I am unable to find evidence that Zuska-Atkin's disease is the common name. A quick search of google books, pulls 57 result's for Zuska's disease of which all are medical books, 19 for lactiferous fistula, 5 for Zuska disease, 2 for Zuska-Atkins disease and zero for Zuska-Atkin's disease. Additionally the first source for this wiki article uses a paper titled "Zuska's disease". I'm pretty sure the article is appropriately titled as Zuska's disease, as this certainly appears to be the common name both in both general and medical literature. -France3470 (talk) 11:42, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
