Article forking
With the new article you created, you seem to be almost entirely using information from the vacuum aspiration article. Spin-off articles (like your new article) are usually only done when the main article (in this case vacuum aspiration) is very long. I don't know that that section is ready to be spun off into its own article yet - please read Content forking.

I believe the best thing to do would be to add any new information you think is important into the vacuum aspiration article, and change your new article Manual vacuum aspiration or MVA into a redirect to vacuum aspiration.

Please let me know if you believe MVA is a sufficiently broad topic to need its own article. Otherwise, I will go ahead and make the MVA article into a redirect. LyrlTalk C 21:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
