This article duplicates another and should be deleted[edit]

Occipital neuritis is an alternative term for occipital neuralgia, for which a separate short article already exists. The present article is of poor quality and has little or nothing to add to the existing occipital neuralgia article. The existence of a second, poor quality article on the same subject using a less commonly used name for the condition is of no benefit and will only cause confusion. Therefore it should be deleted.

Thank you for your observation. This term is not listed in MESH and there is some ambiguity in the literature as to whether this refers to occipital neuralgia or whiplash injury, so I have changed this page as a disambig rather than a redirect. LT90001 (talk) 03:22, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
