Obstructive sleep apnea following pharyngeal flap surgery
Article summarizes linked papers without providing sufficient evidence that this deserves its own article. Delete (or maybe merge to Sleep apnea) Sar e kOfVulcan 00:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep 'Wikipedia is not paper.' As long as it's sourced and not promotional, why not? Tom Harrison Talk 00:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and Merge It could probably easily fit in the Sleep apnea page, and is probably a bit too specific to ever really be very significant on its own. Badbilltucker 01:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge. Article has inline citations, thus satisfying WP:RS and WP:V, and I see no basis for questioning its notability. Whether this topic deserves a separate article or not is debatable and the long name indeed indicates it may be better as a section of sleep apnea, but this is a minor issue that should be solved by the merge rather then AfD. If there is consensus for merge then let's merge it by all means.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus talk 02:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge Term is notable (in fact my dad suffers from something similar) but probably not enough for its own article. It would make a very good addition to the Sleep apnea article, and would work just fine in the "OSA" section. tmopkisn tlka 05:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sleep apnea in agreement with the previous three commenters. I'll be worrying about these technical details in a few years, given my family history, but it's overly specific (and hopelessly overtitled) for a general encyclopedia.  Barno 05:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Trim Merge to Sleep apnea, or Delete. Wikipedia is not the Journal of Sleeping Disorders. -- GWO
 * Merge to sleep apnea. Distinctly overspecialised as-is. Just zis Guy you know? 11:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Deleteor Merge Way overspecialized. Reads exactly like it was taken from a medical journal without citation, or like it was written for a medical journal. Also, it never says who gets the pharyngeal flap surgery, and claims there is an article for same, but there isn't!Edison 02:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge Good info, but doesn't seem to need its own article.--Runcorn 21:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
