Conservative treatment of ingrown toe nails

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a guide for medical treatments. A mention of treatment can be made at ingrown nail. Note that there is also a Surgical treatment of ingrown toe nails article. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:43, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Very close to a howto guide in nature, and while the article in fact is better than the title suggests, it's feels too close to a medical advice guide, and I also am unclear on why any of this, that is notable, wouldn't just be included in ingrown toenail or some other medical topic related.

 * Possibly because practically every single edit that made to ingrown nail, over two years, was reverted.    Uncle G (talk) 12:49, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the article called ingrown nails. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:25, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * But it is an unlikely search term. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 18:36, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Or userify. It seems per Uncle G that this can be considered a POV fork of ingrown nail. Looking at the contribution history, the author's edits were generally low quality, but spelling and grammar mistakes are not a huge deal. What worries me is the pushing of apparent POV backed up by a website he claims to own. Regardless though, this is an essay and possibly original research. I also don't believe this is a candidate for redirect since it doesn't seem to be a plausible search term. We should work with the user to help him/her understand what the issue here is, since I see no interaction with other editors in the article talk page or his own. If there is information that can be salvaged and merged to ingrown nail, then great. § FreeRangeFrog croak 18:46, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
