Very few references to this can be found. Social determinants of health is a much better and more widely used coverage of almost the same topic. KarlB (talk) 01:20, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- merge Instead of deleting, suggest merge health effector with health effect.
- Social determinants of health would only cover a subset of health effectors. Looking at Category:Health effectors, various items there are not social determinants - e.g. exercise, drinking water, pollution, and some of the others are only peripherally social. In addition there are many health effectors that are not covered in the category (e.g. toxins, radiation, ...). Zodon (talk) 03:30, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete without a redirect or merge. This is not a commonly used term (in fact it's ungrammatical - if anything it should be "health affector" but that is not a commonly used term either) and there's not enough content to bother merging. In any case, the article Health effect seems to be talking about something else. --MelanieN (talk) 01:02, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete under this title / 'Merge' to Determinants of health. An article on the things that affect health both positively and negatively would be nice, and there is evidence that that concept is useful and used by professionals in the field. Not super happy about the single sentence length, though. I know that does not mean we cannot add to it later, and I would support a new article creation, but on the other hand, we would not be missing out on much either.

- I note that Determinants of health was merged to Social determinants of health at 19:02, on 25 July 2006 by Kurieeto "(Redirecting to Social determinants of health)". Anarchangel (talk) 00:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This exists here Health#Determinants_of_health already. I don't think the present article adds to the info already in Health --KarlB (talk) 01:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
