The result was   Summarily closed as moot. Author has requested deletion. I have, instead, turned this into a redirect to the new and properly titled article, polysubstance dependence; if the original author was confused and made a mistake in terminology, others may also. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:04, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Polysubstance abuse is not a recognized clinical term according to the DSM IV. Relevant information on this page could be used to describe Polysubstance Dependence which is a proper DSM IV diagmosis ThanatosComplex (talk) 04:48, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - isn't this just a re-naming rather than deletion matter then? -Hunting dog (talk) 04:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Move/Rename - agree with hd. We do need an article on polysubstance dependence. Steve CarlsonTalk 05:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I agree this could be solved by renaming the article, though I thought given the length it might be just as easy for the original creator to create a topic on Polysubstance Dependence and delete this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThanatosComplex (talk • contribs) 06:40, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I was the original creator of this article (how embarrassing, I wasn't paying attention to the distinction between abuse and dependence), and have created Polysubstance dependence with some slight rewording to reflect the very distinction I overlooked the first time. Please Speedy Polysubstance abuse now. Steve CarlsonTalk 07:05, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
