Merger proposal

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
To merge Lábrea fever into Hepatitis D as Lábrea fever is essentially another historical term for hepatitis D. Klbrain (talk) 21:59, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Lábrea fever be merged into Hepatitis D. Because Lábrea fever is essentially another historical term for hepatitis D, it can be covered in the history section (with a redirect to that history section); moreover, the Symptoms and Signs and Cause completely overlap with corresponding sections of hepatitis D, unless reliable sources can be shown that these should differ. Merging will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. In fact, I think this will strengthen the hepatitis D article by adding high-quality historical context. — soupvector (talk) 01:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notified wikiprojects Medicine, Viruses, and Genetics (I had notified creator/primary author when proposal was first posted). — soupvector (talk) 13:47, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Though this proposal has been up for more than 30 days, I was initially remiss in not notifying the relevant wikiprojects so I'll wait to allow for more participation to ensure that this is uncontroversial. — soupvector (talk) 18:23, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How many people are infected? The article can't agree with itself

[edit]

Intro says, "A recent estimate from 2020 suggests that currently 48 million persons are infected with this virus."

Transmission section says, "Worldwide more than 15 million people are co-infected," and also, "In all, about 20 million people may be infected with HDV." IAmNitpicking (talk) 20:09, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
