Nizoral

The page is non-encyclopedic: it is merely directions (and unofficial ones, at that) for using a single brand of anti-dandruff shampoo. In the doubtful case that some of this material warrants inclusion, it should be rolled into shampoo or dandruff. -- Kaszeta 18:20, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I can't be sure, but I think I used it once. Anyway, remove ad-speak and merge with shampoo or dandruff. Both seem equally valid to merge too. Mgm|^(talk) 18:44, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
Merge with dandruff#Treatment after getting rid of the "apply vacuum cleaner on head" part. -- Brhaspati\^talk/_contribs 00:28, 2005 Apr 13 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to ~~Dandruff~~ Ketoconazole. Megan1967 07:32, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep Nizoral used to be available by perscription only. All perscription drugs are notable. Nizoral is also notable for being the first anti-fungal anti-dandruff shampoo. Previous generations of AD shampoo's operated on the assumption that dandruff is caused by some sort of psoriasis-type process, not due to skin surface yeasts. All in all a very notable shampoo worthy of it's own article. Klonimus 06:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, per Klonimus, but remove the "how-to"/original research. Kappa 08:09, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)merge or keep. Kappa 19:23, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Keep per Klonimus and Kappa. - Lucky 6.9 05:11, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep as above. Grue 19:28, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Turn it back to a redir to the generic name Ketoconazole, like was done here, which is also a better article. Niteowlneils 04:34, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Agree with Niteowlneils after he pointed this out on my talk page. Changing vote to merge any useful info and redirect back to the Ketoconazole article. - Lucky 6.9 06:48, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to ketoconazole, mention 2% shampoo in that article, and delete illegal advice to do "despite what the bottle says". As for the vacuum cleaner: LOL. JFW | T@lk 09:15, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
