neologism of a non-notable condition. Tavix (talk) 01:00, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge & Redirect to Ichthyosis lamellaris. Reyk  YO!  01:23, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

If comments go to the bottom could you not just have moved it here and answered anyway...all it takes is a quik copy and paste. Here it is pasted out of the history...you will not make me drop this simply by being dismissive.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE MERGED WITH THE LAMELLAR ICHTHYOSIS PAGE AS IT CAN LEAD TO OTHER RARE ICHTHYOSIFORMS AND IS A SEPERATE CONDITION IN ITSELF. Clearly you know nothing of the specific nature of the condition. Contact a dermatologist and they will happily explain this rare condition to you. How can you possibly say this is non-noteable? Just because you have never heard of it it doesn't make it non-noteable and it certainly is not a neologism because medics use this term. How can you decide this if you are not a wualified dermatologist? How can people be encouraged to use the wikipedia when their informative and highly researched articles are put forward for deletion? This is pathetic. Adam2307 (talk) 19:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - searching pubmed brings up nearly 60 articles with the exact phrase "collodian baby" in the title, going back about 20 years. One
