This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Medicine. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

You can help maintain the list on this page:

  • To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
  • Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  • You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Medicine}}<small>—~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.
  • There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
  • Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
  • You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Medicine.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Nurse stereotypes

Nurse stereotypes (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Although there is a reference provided, this article does not assert the importance or significance of the topic as to be included in an encyclopædia article.EuroSong talk 09:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Why is this not a notable topic? The article does suffer from being written from only one point of view however. (It seems to be written with an agenda -- as is the source I'm guessing -- to promote the "correct" view of nurses vs. all these "stereotypes.")Redddogg (talk) 12:31, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Article promotes career prejudice and is also sexism in disguise. The article could be renamed Female stereotype and most of the article would still be true. Instead of talk about nurses in a cultural/historical context, it just lists and categorizes about various European/American stereotypes of this profession. BTW, nurse is a respected profession many other parts of the world. --Voidvector (talk) 13:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Someone apparently thought it important enough to create a French-language version. -Drawn Some (talk) 04:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh those French! :-) Redddogg (talk) 05:19, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Medicine-related deletion discussions. -- VG ☎ 09:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and/or merge to Nurses. There are numerous comedy shows in which nurses are stereotyped; in the subject of stereotypes, nurses are a notable profession, I think. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 15:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
  • rename to Nurses in Popular Culture RogueNinjatalk 13:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, merge only salvageable content into nursing. The current article is a POV screed. The alphabetic "classification" of major stereotypes is either invented or was introduced by the only source (which is not credited) and therefore not notable as such. JFW | T@lk 20:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Unsolved problems in medical imaging

Unsolved problems in medical imaging (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

There are no notability criteria for inclusion in this article and I doubt there could be meaningful ones. This is a POV-fork of medical imaging and anything that could potentially be listed here would be much better discussed in that article or left out. As the current content already indicates, this article will most probably develop into a subjective mess of vague wishes and speculations. The related articles unsolved problems in medicine (deletion discussion) and unsolved problems in biology (deletion discussion) have long been deleted for related reasons. Without accepted inclusion criteria, this article should be deleted. Cacycle (talk) 01:23, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Medicine-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 04:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Computing-related deletion discussions. -- VG ☎ 04:36, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge back to MRI. I don't get why this has been created as a separate article because it's too short: just one issue with one source. VG ☎ 04:39, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge then delete - most of the information here is already in MRI#Acoustic noise. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge See no need for a separate article - Medical imaging is certainly not bursting at the seams in need of a break up otherwise MRI seems to cover most of it. MvjsTalking 08:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge any useful information and then delete, no such article could be written that would not constitute Original Research. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 10:34, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge/Delete Everybody has a different opinion about what are unsolved problems in medical imaging, I don't think this article could ever be encyclopedic. But please come over to the MRI page and help out - we could use some extra hands ;-) GyroMagician (talk) 14:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Unreleased software with no indication of whether it has been adopted by any users and no other indication of notability. Unreferenced. Bongomatic (talk) 22:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 01:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. I cannot find anything 3rd party to establish notability for this software. I suspect the only reason we have an article on this is that we have one on its author. VG ☎ 01:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete unreferenced within the article and so far references have been unobtainable through the normal methods. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:49, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete' per nom. References do not appear available,despite product's release in February, 2007. —Mattisse (Talk) 15:14, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Non-notable. Has had a busy career, but does not meet Wikipedia standards Written like a resume. —G716 <T·C> 12:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete I can't see anything he has done that is notable, and there are no references that claim notability either. Arsenikk (talk) 12:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Hshieh is an influential lecturer at Harvard —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.120.48 (talk) 00:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
— 128.12.120.48 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Keep. I have attended a few of Hshieh's lectures at Harvard. Given his contributions to 3D imaging, especially in cancer detection, I am surprised that this article is up for deletion. Most of his work is published in closed journals, but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to add more references to this entry. Themonthcomes (talk) 01:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep More than enough info to justify an article. -Nard 02:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable researcher/academic. Fails WP:PROF in a blink. VG ☎ 12:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Clearly fails WP:PROF - not notable even if clearly very bright. Why are we being told a Stanford University freshman is an 'influential Harvard lecturer'? Even his CV doesn't make that claim. Large numbers of students can claim similar awards. And of course a clear campaign here by brand new editors. Doug Weller (talk) 14:01, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Our standards for academics make full professors usually be notable, but to make a freshman be notable we would need extremely persuasive evidence which is not to be found here. No publications in refereed journals have been listed, and we don't see any reliable sources commenting on his work. Wikipedia does not have articles on any of the awards he is said to have received. EdJohnston (talk) 14:22, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Aside from everything else (he's clearly nonnotable), if "most of his work is published in closed journals", that doesn't help his notability at all. Nyttend (talk) 15:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Notability not established Dreamspy (talk) 20:45, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - nothing here seems to reach notability standards—G716 <T·C> 22:30, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 00:01, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Entirely nonnotable, and wikipedia is no place to post ones resume. Themfromspace (talk) 02:02, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

One-liner about a human physiology topic that is already fully covered by another article (Cerebral cortex). Content is for all intents and purposes merged. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 21:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect appropriate here. JFW | T@lk 22:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect if it is covered in another article, as it is a plausible title for search and linking. --Itub (talk) 06:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
