The result was Keep or Merge One thing is certain, this article is not going to be deleted; I can find no consensus, however, as to whether this article should be kept or merged; the best way to determine that is a separate discussion on the article's talk page..

Nasal breathing

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No citations or sources, biased, no real research, seems opinionated Asoccer345 (talk) 02:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Breathing as plausible redirect. The ICD used in this article doesn't mention Nasal Breathing. ICD 10 is used for "mouth breathing" while ICD 9 is used for "Other symptoms involving head and neck".-- Lenticel ( talk ) 04:24, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Changed to Keep per expansion and references. I've removed the inaccurate infobox -- Lenticel ( talk ) 07:31, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Don't delete. This is obviously a real medical/physiological topic, so it likely has received substantial coverage; I'm inclined to say keep, but I strongly believe that it should either be kept as an article or retained as a redirect as suggested by Lentice1.

 * Merge/Redirect to Breathing. This is an unnecessary fork, but it contains content which should be added to the Breathing article with appropriate references. Also merge/redirect the companion article Mouth breathing. There actually is a fair amount of information in the medical literature on this subject, for example  . --MelanieN (talk) 07:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The topic is notable and so should be developed further per our editing policy. Warden (talk) 17:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into Breathing. Whilst important, I don't believe it needs to be a stand-alone article. Bazonka (talk) 22:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Click on Google book search at the top of the AFD. They measure nasal breathing for a medical test to be done, plus people write about viruses its more vulnerable to than mouth breathing, etc, in various books, plus one about psychiatry and nasal breathing.  This article can surely be expanded.   D r e a m Focus  17:40, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Breathing, no indication that a dedicated article is warranted here RadioFan (talk) 13:30, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep all body processes and functions, especially one as noted as this one are notable.LuciferWildCat (talk) 18:17, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge. The subject is certainly not one to be deleted; I leave it up to the consensus of others here to decide whether it is better as a stand-alone article or as a merge, as I don't have a strong opinion between the two options.--Epeefleche (talk) 12:28, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - A notable topic covered in reliable sources. Article could use expansion and more inline citations. Northamerica1000 (talk) 01:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
