This article is pointless. Notability of an article that describs all adnexal and skin appendage neoplasms doesn't exist and isn't demonstrated. The title exists because it is an ICD heading and it matches the title of an infobox that was created to match. It's likely an ICD heading because it is a convenient way to describe mostly cutaneous neoplasms that don't come from the skin tissue. This article has remained unedited since its creation for this reason - it's not an article editors are searching for because it's such an arbitrary title. I think this article should be plan 'ol deleted. Tom (LT) (talk) 23:57, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The nom is right, this is just a heading in the International Classification of Diseases categorisation tree. It makes no more sense to have this than to create articles for all the Dewey Decimal Classification headings for library book sorting. Some, perhaps even most, of them will undoubtedly be topics suitable for an encyclopaedia article, but it doesn't follow that all of them will be. SpinningSpark 11:24, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment. There is some kind of tautology going on with this phrase since adnexa means appendages. If adnexal neoplasms includes neoplasms besides those of skin adnexa, then we could just have "adnexal neoplasms". If it only includes those of the skin then the title could be shortened to "skin appendage neoplasms" or "adnexal skin neoplasms". Even if this is an encyclopaedic topic, the title needs to go.

Delete Especially when it can be covered somewhere else. Tessaracter (talk) 15:05, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable. If it had any actual content I might suggest merging it into another article. -Kj cheetham (talk) 13:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
