Splenic-flexure syndrome
Delete, no references in PubMed, not in major textbooks of gastroenterology, clinical spectrum overlaps irritable bowel syndrome, not recognized by most gastroenterologists -- Samir Grover 09:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral. 1160 Google hits. Mentioned in the Merck Manual. Needs source corrobation not to sound like original research. JFW | T@lk  09:11, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep 54,000+ Results for google search "Splenic Flexure", not a hoax, notable enough. &mdash;This user has left wikipedia  10:47 2006-01-26
 * Clarification - The Afd is for splenic-flexure syndrome. Agreed that splenic flexure is an anatomic term of great importance.  My argument is that splenic-flexure syndrome is not recognized as distinct from IBS anymore by gastroenterologists. Maybe Merge might be better? -- Samir Grover 11:00, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Results 1 - 10 of about 1,630 for "Splenic-flexure syndrome" Ruby 12:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep looks notable or merge it. --Ter e nce Ong 13:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Irritable bowel syndrome, and redirect. For what it's worth, I've heard this term used, rarely.  -Ikkyu2 16:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
