Ober's test → Ober test – 20 results for Ober's test on Pubmed and 23 for Ober test. This combined with the trend towards removing "'s
" in medicine and the calls for standardization of the removal of apostrophe s by the WHO, AMA, and NIH, among others, points me towards the validity of this RM.

- There is quite a big distinction between the use of Ober's test and the Ober test - makes no sense as a stand alone item without the use of an article. And it seems that use of apostrophe is preferred to an article prefix on page entries.--Iztwoz (talk) 14:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would say that distinction is similar to Eagles (band). Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 23:01, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
