Talk:Asperger's syndrome

Duplicate article

This article appears to be a duplicate of the one at Asperger syndrome Why do we have this and the other one? I'm not sure which is the more common name, I've heard the "'s" variant more, but maybe that's just me. You all are going to have to merge these two articles, and figure out which name you want the article at. J. Noel Chiappa 10:33, 2 April 2008 (CDT)

My thoughts exactly. I think the Asperger syndrome article is quite well developed. Plus, I don't like the term "sufferer", it's demeaning. Minhaj Ahmed Khan Lodi 15:35, 2 April 2008 (CDT)

The term 'sufferer' has been discussed and I decided (as it is an Eduzendium article) that I wouldn't be changing it. Is there a Conflict of Interest clause on CZ? Brandon Zubek 06:04, 8 May 2008 (CDT)

Citizendium's Neutrality policy states that articles should be unbiased and neutral, accepting all points of view. Minhaj Ahmed Khan Lodi 14:41, 17 May 2008 (CDT)

This has been discussed (I'm putting this here to just remind people - don't want the main page to be changed!). Brandon Zubek 13:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Not suggesting deletion, but...

See CZ:Article Deletion Policy#Articles deletable only after editor instruction. While neither of these articles should be summarily deleted, it does seem to be CZ policy that there should not be articles with similar or identical topics, and overlapping coverage. Now, if the articles were written from the perspectives of different disciplines (i.e., under different workgroups), that might be a valid reason to have two, but they still would need to be disambiguated.

This is not tagged as an active Eduzendium project, so would that still apply? I could understand having a student article, during a project, separate from the main article, but nothing suggests that is desirable after the end of the project. Howard C. Berkowitz 11:43, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Duplicate article, fixed

I have now fixed this by

1. archiving Asperger's syndrome at Asperger's syndrome/Duplicate article;
2. pasting the content from Asperger syndrome into Asperger's syndrome;
3. archiving Talk:Asperger syndrome at Talk:Asperger's syndrome/Duplicate article;
4. turning Asperger's syndrome into a redirect and speedying its subpages.
