Essay that duplicates information already in Ethanol and Alcoholic beverage Kerowyn ^{Leave a note} 17:28, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/merge The main rivals actually seem to be Short-term effects of alcohol and Long-term effects of alcohol. It's not clear which of these titles we should prefer but, per our editing policy, reorganising this material seems to be best done by ordinary editing rather than deletion.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Medicine-related deletion discussions.

Delete per nomination; a redundant content fork, as well as an opinion piece apparently advocating the position that drinking's bad, m'kay? For thousands of years humans have been consuming Alcohol with notable effects to the function of the body. Each system of the human body responds to alcohol in a different way. By breaking the effects up by different system, I hope that the information on this page can be applied to answering some of the many questions about alcohol. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 18:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as OR. This "article" reads as if it were written as an essay by a high school student eager to impress adults - I remember writing a similar essay back in the Paleolithic Era. But like all essays, it's nothing but original research and personal opinion combined with subtly selective uses of sources to prove a point. Even as an essay it doesn't succeed. It certainly doesn't belong on Wikipedia. --NellieBly (talk) 20:12, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Looks like a content fork. If this is kept, somebody needs to take a meat cleaver to the unencyclopedic FAQ section at the end. Carrite (talk) 21:00, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the whole lot into health effects of alcohol. Risk of significant duplication. There is certainly material that could populate this kind of article (e.g. the fact that alcohol is a vasodilator and has diuretic properties), but this is not it. JFW | T@lk 21:15, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 05:40, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge material into the two target pages of health effects of alcohol - the actual merging may be a bit fiddly but not too difficult. This is a needless reduplication of pages. Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:20, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Long term effects of alcohol. The content is very similar. As has been mentioned, references/citations should be made where needed.--User:Warrior777 (talk) 01:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all sourced material with Long term effects of alcohol per the Colonel above. Other targets not optimal, IMHO. Might in fact be significant amount of OR here. BusterD (talk) 12:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
