Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Perturbation training (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Fall prevention. Nothing appears to have particularly changed since the previous AfD debate led to a (somewhat weak) consensus to merge. As the content of this article has **already** been merged to the target article and elsewhere, we clearly cannot delete this page due to attribution concerns. As no new consensus to keep this article has developed, and no real work has been done to solve previous concerns, the clear conclusion of this discussion is to actually implement the redirect. ~ mazca  talk 17:56, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

First things first, I have previously nominated this article for deletion as the subject fails WP:DICDEF and it duplicates content from various related articles. I believe this should be redirected to Fall prevention but, as I've previously nominated the article for deletion I thought it would be sensible to put this issue out for a consensus first. I'll leave it to other editors to decide if the previous discussion's conclusion was the correct one according to the way the discussion went. The fact is, the same article with the same problems still exists and it really shouldn't. Exemplo347 (talk) 10:35, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Fall prevention, per previous AfD; in any case, a merge does not require AfD approval. When two articles cover the same ground a merge to fix the WP:FORK is the appropriate remedy. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:23, 8 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - contains no real assertion of notability. The article has 51 citations, all from a single editor who's never edited anything else, which almost certainly means someone has put their university assignment essay onto Wikipedia. In other other words, it's WP:OR. Maybe merge the important bits into Fall prevention, but I assume the 2017 merge never happened because it was too hard, so I vote delete. Preserve the text somewhere like Talk:Fall prevention for anyone who wants to attempt the merge. Adpete (talk) 13:11, 8 May 2018 (UTC)


 * keep offline sources are a real pain. That said, I'm going to WP:AGF that they are legit. If that's true, then the topic seems to pass WP:GNG easily.  That it is primarily edited by one enthusiastic editor does not bother me unless it can be shown that there is some kind of policy violation that I am missing.--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:22, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Quick note - Just so you all know, all relevant, usable content was merged into suitable articles over a year ago. No new content has been added since, so there's no point re-merging. As all content exists in other articles, there's no reason to keep this. Twelve months is long enough. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:57, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect - After general cleanup, I just moved the entire risk factors section to Fall prevention. After doing that, I realized that there's probably an opportunity for a merge of that info with Falling (accident), but my move partially addresses the task at hand - the resolution for this article. Can anyone confirm that all other useful content is indeed preserved somewhere? As for the redirect target, I thought Physical therapy would work, but perturbation training doesn't seem to fall cleanly under any one of the named specialties. Will have to think some more about this - suggestions welcome. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  16:34, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The talk page of the article includes a discussion that states the useful content was copied to other articles, over a year ago. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 23:20, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't see the discussion you mention - only a note that says the info was merged. Yet, none of the risk prevention info I moved was already there - I checked.  What am I missing? TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  23:42, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * My mistake, that comment is in the first AfD discussion, linked at the top of this discussion. Exemplo347 (talk) 23:45, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
