Maternal oral health

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Although it is well referenced this looks like a student essay. Uses a lot of words to say very little. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep I removed the ProD (proposed deletion) tag because I thought it should have a chance for further construction, and because deletion might be controversial. It seems encyclopedic.  I'm having second thoughts, but there is a huge pile of crap on Google.  There are over 200 scholarly works on the exact topic. Perhaps an expert could help, but that's not me.  In the meanwhile, it might be worth a rescue. Bearian (talk) 22:51, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Neutral/Possible redirect to Maternal health. This seems like too much of an essay and like RHaworth says, uses a lot of words to say very little. This could probably be summarized and added to maternal health. Then again, this could potentially be a good article but right now this entry would pretty much have to be scrapped and completely rewritten.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:59, 27 October 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * I could agree with that. Possibly smerge useful material. Bearian (talk) 14:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge per Tokyo and Bearian. The present state of the article is such that it should not stand as-is, but there are some good bits that could be used at Maternal health, and it would always be possible for someone to unmerge and write a better article.
