Talk:WhatsAppitis
Merge?
[edit]I don't think we need separate articles for "BlackBerry thumb", "WhatsAppitis", "Wiiitis", "Nintendinitis", "Playstation thumb", "cellphone thumb", "smartphone thumb", "Android thumb", and "iPhone thumb", as they all refer to the same medical condition. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:33, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- I understand what you mean to say, but please note that this terms has been included in the medical literature and others terms are not appearing till now in medical literature. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 06:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Lancet, which is secong highest impact factor medical journal in the world has used the term Whatsappitis. The article can be found here - http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(14)60519-5/fulltext?rss%3Dyes Thanks. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 06:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- And if we are merging this one, they we will have to think to merge even this article. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_thumb Abhijeet Safai (talk) 06:47, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I've seen that, Lancet also mentions Nintendinitis and Tenosynovitis. I don't want to delete the information, I just think that we should describe the phenomenon more clearly and in one place, if possible. The article Repetitive strain injury seems to be the best target, in my opinion. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:48, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Great! After seeing the article of blackberry thumb, I am confused now and feel that such ambiguity should not persist. I am really confused now. But as Lancet is using the term and it is very famous now, I do not think that it will have problem of notability. We can think of merging after some time after seeing which term is in use in medical literature. Till that time giving interlinks to all these related articles is the best way to avoid confusion. That I agree. Thanks. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 07:03, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

- Merge of course. Two years from now, nobody will remember WhatsApp, let alone "WhatsApitis". Repetitive strain injury is the medical term and that one will undoubtedly stay. All the others should be redirected there, too. I don't even see any content worth merging here, so a simple redirect would do it, too. --Randykitty (talk) 16:16, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- I have boldly redirected this stub to Repetitive strain injury. As I said above, I don't really see any content worth merging. --Randykitty (talk) 14:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
