On 8 May 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Thermoregulation in humans to Human thermoregulation. The result of the discussion was moved.

Proposed merge with Cold and heat adaptations in humans

There's worthwhile content at the newer article, but it's an orphan and looks like an inadvertent content fork ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 08:17, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you GiggsIsLegend (talk) 21:45, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The two articles cover distinct topics. The newer article (page opened September 2016) is Cold and heat adaptations in humans and is broader in scope than Thermoregulation in humans, and far from being an orphan is currently the better linked. The older article, Thermoregulation in humans (December 2015), is less well linked and more focussed on acute, physiological adaptions. Given that both topics are important, can I suggest that they remain separate, linked through a 'main' template in the section Cold and heat adaptations in humans#Physiological adaptations.

Support, thermoregulation is a more general name, but semantically identical with "cold and heat adaption". This discussion is about the topic, citations can be updated, but I don't see a rational reason for the differentiation of those terms. –Tobias (talk) 19:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thermoregulation in humans → Human thermoregulation – As per WP:CONCISE, in line with human brain, human body, human behavior, and other articles about human anatomy and characteristics, more commonly used term. –Tobias (talk) 19:30, 8 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 02:48, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - No comment on the overall move, but worth mentioning that "X in humans" isn't entirely uncommon - see regeneration in humans, injury in humans, sex differences in humans for examples. Goes without saying that this format being in wide use doesn't necessarily mean it's correct though. Couruu (talk) 08:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's true, but sex differences in humans doesn't seem to be an appropriate title compared to "human sex differences" as well. As for the injuries and regeneration, it is useful the way it is since it is more referred to as a mechanism which is attributed to a certain species rather than an attributive word denoting a mechanism of a species, you know? –Tobias (talk) 09:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
