Ulcer (dermatology) → Ulcer (skin) – I think this is a better name. Temp87 (talk) 21:02, 22 March 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 23:51, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. No policy-based reason given for why the proposed name is supposedly "better". BTW, I think Skin ulcer might be better, per WP:COMMONNAME. If you google for "ulcer dermatology" you get a lot of sites referencing "skin ulcer". Skin ulcer currently redirects to Cutaneous condition, I presume it would be better redirect it here but this is not an area in which I'm an expert. --В²C ☎ 22:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as proposed. I support moving to Skin ulcer instead. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 03:27, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Skin ulcer is fine with me. --Temp87 (talk) 15:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - "skin ulcer" does not entirely equate to the definition in the article "An ulcer is a sore on the skin or a mucous membrane". Mucous membrane =/= skin. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 19:30, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: But dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, nails, hair and its diseases which doesn't seem to include mucous membranes (which are mostly endodermal in origin). So there does seem to be a problem with the current article title. Andrewa (talk) 23:51, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some would consider mucosal disease to be under the "remit" of a dermatologist also. We have Mouth ulcer, but there are many other mucosal surfaces where it is possible to get ulcers which the encyclopedia should cover. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 12:37, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
