Hepatitis biochemical markers

Misnamed article on the serological/immunological diagnosis of hepatitis. These are not what would conventionally regarded as biochemical tests. There is also no reason why the content cannot be integrated with hepatitis. JFW &#124; T@lk  13:26, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

The above makes an interesting case. While I do not see what the above can not be termed as a "Biochemical marker" (any hormone, enzyme, antibody, or other substance that is detected in the urine, blood, or other body fluids or tissues that may serve as a sign of a disease or other abnormality.) in fact it seems like that is the most correct definition, I do believe it COULD be added to the hepatitis site although hepatitis is just defined as inflamation of the liver whereas these are specific diseases which contribute to a specific form of hepatitis. The markers are of such importance that I think they should be included as a "clip" or "snip-it" in the hepatitis page as well as having the original source on another page. Either way, if the page is scheduled for deletion, the information should be preserved in some location. --70.166.194.10 (talk) 14:03, 11 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Hepatitis. Being misnamed is not grounds for deletion (and whether it's misnamed is debatable). --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge - this content is worth keeping, as Colapeninsula says, being misnamed is not a grounds for deletion. A merge to Hepatitis makes most sense. The content does need to be fleshed out a little, but deletion is not for things which can be fixed by editing. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 15:19, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge to Hepatitis. It's sourced information that isn't notable on its own in its current state. §everal⇒|Times 17:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
