There's a May proposal to merge Canavan disease to Spongy degeneration of the central nervous system. However, the latter article was created by a single-purpose account, Conanyam, rather than improving or moving the existing article. Perhaps this existing (2002) article was missed. So, suggest a merge to the older article (Canavan disease) that uses a more traditional, and still widely-used, name. Klbrain (talk) 16:28, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
Oppose. Even considering just what's discussed here, there's way too much specific to Canavan Disease for that to make sense. Besides, technically speaking, spongy degeneration of the nervous system is a very broad topic, and a number of bases are associated with it. Merging the Canavan Disease article into the one about spongy degeneration of the nervous system would be making a much closer association between Canavan Disease and, say, Mad Cow Disease, than is honest and appropriate.
