The result was redirect to Pharmacy. I'm redirecting rather than deleting because of the large number of incoming links and the old age of the article (it's been here since 2006 so may well have incoming external links as well). Really, that's something the proposer could have done without bothering with AFD. I'm completely ignoring the the comment that it should have been speedy deleted A10 for the same reason - A10 can only be applied to recently created articles. It is also necessary to preserve the history if any of the material is merged elsewhere, as some participants have indicated they want to do. SpinningSpark 22:55, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Pharmacy practice

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's no reason to have a separate "pharmacy practice" article, when the subject of pharmacy practice is already discussed in the "pharmacy" article.

By analogy with the "medicine" article, there is no separate "medical practice" article; rather, "medical practice" redirects to the "medicine" article.

Therefore, I propose the deletion of the "pharmacy practice" page, and redirecting to the "pharmacy" article. Biochemistry&#38;Love (talk) 05:18, 29 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge - I might have had a different opinion had this article been written as an appendix to the Pharmacy article; even with such consideration it doesn't appear that there is enough reason to separate this information from that topic. In my opinion, this is an inherent aspect of the field.  Therefore I suggest that some of this article's information can be incorporated into Pharmacy so long as it's well referenced, and whatever remains redundant be deleted.  Per Wikipedia Guidelines give guidance to how specific aspects to broader topics might be written and only be required to provide reference to a main article.  In this instance one must consider WP:OVERLAP/WP:NOTDIC to determine whether or not there is significant disparity, as well as substantial need for a separate article.  unak   1978  21:20, 29 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, Unak78. How does this sound?
 * Merge Pharmacy practice into Pharmacy

 * delete this is some contorted work of OR that just duplicates the content in Pharmacist. Should have been speedied per WP:A10. Jytdog (talk) 01:35, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * -That's a good point. After all, nothing was actually cited there. If deleted, I think I'll just cross reference the list to make sure anything worth noting isn't already included in pharmacist. E.g. the pharmacist article doesn't mention IV compatibility checking. Biochemistry&#38;Love (talk) 03:26, 8 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. There is nothing of value on the page. My very best wishes (talk) 04:25, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * -The pharmacy article has no mention of over the counter drug recommendations. It doesn't outline what pharmacists do in each practice area (e.g. "disease-state management," "drug abuse prevention," and other interventions). These are concepts that should be included in the pharmacy article. Granted, there are no references in the pharmacy practice article, so we'd need to find verifiable sources for these concepts. ― Bio chemistry 🙴 ❤   21:31, 11 May 2017 (UTC) (signed as "Biochemistry&Love" above)
 * Aricle Pharmacy already includes such section. This page is a pure content fork and should be deleted, unless we want to split content from main page to this page (I do not think that be reasonable). My very best wishes (talk) 14:53, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * While Pharmacy does mention the different practice sites, it fails to discuss what pharmacists actually do in each practice area. For example, in the Community pharmacy section, the focus is on the practice site itself, rather than what the pharmacist is doing at that site. I agree that saving the Pharmacy practice page isn't useful, and I wouldn't want to split content from Pharmacy and it, but I think there are some concepts (that definitely need to be expanded upon) in Pharmacy practice that should be spliced into Pharmacy--precisely in the section you quoted. ― Bio chemistry 🙴 ❤   19:03, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
