Is this a medical term? Or move to Wikidictionary. Can't see it expanding.Mandel 05:52, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

This is a real term, but we already have a perfectly good head injury to merge this into. ClockworkTroll 06:29, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Has potential to become a full article. I don't see any reason for a merge - just need to link between the two.--Tomheaton 12:29, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- How can one make this a full article without duplicating with head injury? All head injuries are either penetrating or closed.
Redirect to head injury. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:31, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete: Anything that can be said here can be placed in head injury instead. DCEdwards1966 21:06, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
Merge with Head injury--Jondel 04:11, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete I don't think there is anything in the existing stub to merge with Head injury. --Jll 20:33, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
As usual, no need to delete - redirect and merge. Mark Richards 17:59, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
