Disambiguation page? edit
Shouldn't this be a disambiguation page? Chergles (talk) 18:52, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that there should be a disambiguation page. However, I do not think this is that page. Enucleation is not only a surgical technique; it's a general term meaning 'removing the nucleus of something'. There are quite a few pathology articles which briefly refer to enucleation as a treatment option, but there is no article on the surgical technique to refer to. That is what I intended this article to become.
- The other usages I found so far (in additional to the surgical technique):
- The microbiological usage of enucleation of cells, such as oocytes (reproductive research) and studying the interaction of infectious :microbes and animal cells.
- Record label known as http://www.enucleationrecords.com/
- Unfortunately, the current enucleation page was taken to only mean eyeball removal, instead of the more general surgical technique. I think the current enucleation article should be renamed Enucleation of the eye and referenced on this page (as I started to do). Enucleation should then be the disambiguation page and refer to all the usages. --InsufficientData (talk) 19:23, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
