Huh? What content would you expect in an article about Level of consciousness per se? I'm sorry, but this move doesn't make sense to me. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:33, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Altered level of consciousness is a disease / condition which has a differential diagnosis and management which was already discussed to a degree on this page. Level of consciousness is to altered level of consciousness as weight is to obesity. Will be working on this page more. If it get large the section on definition could be split of as the page on level of consciousness.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:45, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
