Superior border

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I am proposing deletion of Superior border and Inferior border because these pages do not help readers. My reasons are:
 * 1) Readers are unlikely to search for "Superior" or "Inferior" border without specifying of what
 * 2) A reader making this search will be unambiguously knowing what structure they want to know
 * 3) (Almost) every anatomical structure has a superior border, as do many others
 * 4) It will confuse search results to have a specific article which only lists two superior borders -- readers will be expecting all borders (which will be an impossible list to compile) and are better off using a search engine.
 * 5) If we have a precedent of disambiguating borders, we might as well create 5,000+ disambiguation pages for: Anterior border, Posterior border, Medial border, Lateral border, Deep border, Superficial border ad nauseum.

Therefore it benefits readers if we delete this article

Keep DABCHEAP, there aren't really any negatives to having many DAB pages like this sort. I don't exactly what you mean by "It will confuse search results to have a specific article which only lists two superior borders" but again there isn't any reason why we can't list all of the examples if need be. WP:DEMOLISH If there is a significant over this page being misleading in some way or another, then I might change my vote.--Prisencolin (talk) 05:47, 9 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - No valid reason to delete this content. If there's a serious concern about search results (I don't think there is), move this content to Superior border (disambiguation). ~Kvng (talk) 13:25, 9 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep A quick Google will show that both 'superior border' and 'inferior border' are being applied to just about any anatomical feature - heart, brainstem, femur, oral cavity... however, the only instances where the terms are used w/o modifiers are with the pancreas and scapula. As such it does make sense that someone searching for the blank expressions might specifically want either of these, and judging from the frequency of the terms in the literature the likelihood is sufficiently high to warrant "highjacking" a general term.--  Elmidae  (talk) 07:43, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
