Talk:Palmoplantar keratoderma

Proposed merge

Hello to all! I am proposing a merge from the following articles into this article:

• Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma
• Diffuse epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma
• Diffuse nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma
• Focal palmoplantar keratoderma with oral mucosal hyperkeratosis
• Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma
• Palmoplantar keratoderma and spastic paraplegia
• Palmoplantar keratoderma of Sybert
• Striate palmoplantar keratoderma
• Striate palmoplantar keratoderma, woolly hair, and left ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy

This is for the following reasons:

• The main article would benefit significantly from having all this information in one place.
• Half of the subtopics here have already been merged.
• These articles are very short in length (1-2 sentences) and have not been edited significantly in 3-4 years.
• This knowledge shouldn't be obscured from readers of this article by virtue of being isolated in an obscure article of 1-2 lines.
• These topics may receive more attention by being mentioned in the main article.
• The articles, if needs be, could be re-expanded at a later date.

With the absence of any objections, I have completed this merge and hope that this article's quality continues to improve in the future. LT90001 (talk) 02:46, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

One thing that could be done to improve the article's quality is to make it understandable to people who are not already studying medicine/qualified doctors. There are a large number of these types of articles where it seems that the content has largely been lifted from a medical text book. 106.69.47.133 (talk) 03:58, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
