Reverse zoonosisAnthroponosis – The page does not contain any sources supporting the opinion that "reverse zoonosis" is a common term. It should be moved to Anthroponosis according to sources like [1]. --Hwem (talk) 06:25, 23 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Primefac (talk) 07:41, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have converted this rename request into a templated RM - no content change. Primefac (talk) 07:41, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So it seems like pretty much a wash. The article was stably at the title "Anthroponotic disease" for most of its history (since 2007). It was boldly moved to the current title in January of 2021. I'm neutral on the merits of the move for now, but wanted to at least share the above information in case it's helpful to other editors. Colin M (talk) 17:53, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - The proposed name is not the common name per the above. No objection to moving to zooanthroponosis. FOARP (talk) 14:30, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Above comparison is partly irrelevant because anthroponosis and reverse zoonosis are not synonyms. User:NightWolf1223, why are you closing the discussion after a day of the single "oppose" comment without giving me a possibility to reply to comment? --Hwem (talk) 04:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I am not NightWolf, but the move request was open for three weeks (two weeks longer than the minimum); if there was only one opposed and one neutral !vote after that length of time, at best it's a no consensus close, which results in the page not being moved.

Reverts and original research[edit]

  • I reverted edits that claimed that Reverse zoonosis and Anthroponosis are the same. --Hwem (talk) 05:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please comment on reverts. This page is originally about Anthroponosis. Some user decided to make it a page about Reverse zoonosis, instead of creating a new page. I reverted it. --Hwem (talk) 07:25, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • User Tleemundo added huge amount of original research to this page. Even the first sentense is wrong and not supported by source given. --Hwem (talk) 07:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Just a note, I have split your comments and added a header. Primefac (talk) 07:41, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
