"Cervical screening" page: Split does not make sense - more maintenance, less clarity
Line 323:
 
:I have moved the sections on types of screening and HPV tests to [[cervical screening]] as it contains information on other types of cervical screening test than the Pap test. [[User:Jah998|Jah998]] ([[User talk:Jah998|talk]]) 14:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 
::I oppose the split. In particular splitting liquid based (LB) Paps onto a separate page doesn't make sense. LB versus conventional Paps are just different procedures for preparing the slide. The collection is the same, the reading is done in the same way, it is just a matter of different handling of the samples in between. (Which also has different results for effectiveness as a screening test.) Eventually there might be enough material to warrant separate coverage of LB, but currently LB is hardly explained at all.
::The coverage of cervicography and HPV testing could probably better be handled by splitting out separate articles on those topics, keeping a summary in the main article. But there should be just one main article, and it should remain Pap test. [[User:Zodon|Zodon]] ([[User talk:Zodon|talk]]) 09:11, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
