Proposing merge from Black piedra to Piedraia hortae
[edit]- Merge - Black piedra is a stub and just the common name for Piedraia hortae --Nessie (talk) 18:10, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Black piedra is the name of the diease, Piedrea hortae is the name of the agent that causes it. Medmyco (talk) 01:38, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- is that agreement? Usually is one organism causes only one disease, there is only one article. --Nessie (talk) 01:25, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- most of the articles on medically important fungi have parallel articles on the diseases they cause (e.g., see Blastomyces and Blastomycosis). Despite the seeming duplication, I can see some rationale for laying it out as it is normally how encyclopaedic entries are constructed. I think these are better as separate topics, but I’d be open to considering another approach. Medmyco (talk) 03:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- Blastomyces dermatitidis and Blastomycosis both are substantial articles. Black piedra is a stub. If it were at risk of overloading the Piedraia hortae article, then sure keep them separate, but right now it's just making extra work for readers. --Nessie (talk) 03:54, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

- Support merge. The Piedraia hortae#Pathology has much better material on the topic than the Black piedra stub so readers linked directly to Black piedra currently miss out on helpful material. The final page size would not be significantly altered. Klbrain (talk) 06:47, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 06:23, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
