Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To merge the 5 central arteries to the Central arteries page, for short text and context. Klbrain (talk) 17:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 5 sets of central arteries around the Circle of Willis each have what are likely to be permanent stubs, and already have duplication (the image, for example); it would be more coherent to discuss them together on one page, using a hatnote to distinguish them from the central retina artery (WP:2DABS). So, this would cease to becomg a disambiguation page. The formal merge reasons are: short text, context and overlap. Klbrain (talk) 08:47, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, the set to merge would be Anterolateral central arteries,Posterolateral central arteries,Posteromedial central arteries,Thalamoperforating artery, Posteromedial central arteries. Klbrain (talk) 10:29, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - agree with proposer's rationale. Tom (LT) (talk) 04:04, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - There are numerous far briefer articles for discrete anatomical structures - these are inherently discrete topics. Contents can - and have - be(en) expanded from specialist secondary sources: the PMCA, for example, is no longer a stub at this point. These arteries have important, distinct neuropathological correlates so /* Clinical significance */ sections may be further expanded. It should also be borne in mind that folding multiple such articles into a single one makes subsequent expansion of content far more difficult (disorganised clutter), making this a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Kind regards,
