History of emerging infectious diseases → Discovery of disease-causing pathogens – The current name makes no sense, because of the oxymoron "History of emerging". I propose a merge to a more logical name such as the one I propose or something similar. I can see that the topic is probably notable - that is, a list / history when important infectious diseases had their cause identified - but the current title just doesn't suit Tom (LT) (talk) 07:34, 25 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
