This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous.

Despite a clear majority in favor of deleting the contents of this article (only 4 votes to keep), there is not a clear concensus to delete. After reviewing the content of both articles, I can not find anything to merge that improves the stem cell research article. I am going to exercise my discretion and call this one as a straight redirect. Rossami (talk) 03:44, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mike May[edit]

I'm not convinced he is notable enough to warrant his own article. Grutness|hello? 06:44, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. - Andre Engels 09:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Another potential human interest article. If the deletionists want to do something useful why don't they delete articles about boring stuff like Pokemons or technical internet jargon things, and leaving potentially inspiring or motivating real-life stories alone. — P Ingerson (talk) 11:01, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • FWIW, this was posted here by an inclusionist who has saved or help save far more articles on vfds than he's put here, but who happens to have been sorting through the substubs this week. :) Grutness|hello?
  • Delete. Being a surgery patient does not make one wikiworthy. If his operation was unusual or unique, it should be mentioned in the article(s) about its branch of medicine. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:59, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep because of medical interest, not human interest. Merging somewhere would be ok. Kappa 13:19, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Stem cell research. - Aaron Hill 13:49, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Blind people regaining sight from stem cells is notable. Klonimus 17:39, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-informative, nonnotable. Mikkalai 20:31, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Stem cell research. I see nothing noteworthy enough about this person to merit an article. If he happens to be the *first* successful example of this treatment, then I believe it would be a good article subject - but absent any evidence that he's more than another guy who got a new medical treatment, he doesn't get a whole page. --FCYTravis 21:11, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Nice article in teh Guardian, but not really notable. Ganymead 06:50, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep, needs definite expansion. Somewhat barely more notable than Brandenn Bremmer. Megan1967 07:29, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Stem cell research. --Tabor 20:36, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-notable. Quale 05:54, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as above. Radiant_* 13:06, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - not notable - if it were worthy of merge then my name should be in the Wikipedia article... - Tεxτurε 17:11, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Uninformative, not notable. Jayjg (talk) 21:06, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
