Talk:Bill Frist medical school experiments controversy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion on October 17, 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.

The link to the New York Observer article had quotes from the article and was a valid reference. The replacement link doesn't work and didn't have the source information such as extended quotes from the book. I therefor returned the deleted link.

It seems to me that the recently added words, "it is alleged," are inaccurate. Where Mr. Frist has himself admitted to experimentation on Cats and Dogs, this is more than a mere allegation. His book is cited, and there are thousands of sources online where this is confirmed, including the New York Observer Article and news stories with links in the article. I might add that I have a copy of the book, which is available on Amazon.com for a minimal charge, and the quoted material is accurate.

The suggestion that information in the article is not properly sourced seems inappropriate where there is extensive sourcing and there has been no discussion prior to this posting as to what was not properly sourced.

I don't think the "stub" label to the article is appropriate. The article is a sub-article to the main Bill Frist article. I don't believe it is properly characterized as a stubb.

I think the last part of the last paragraph, that reads "According to the New York Times, "[t]he FBI has found that a history of cruelty to animals is one of the traits that regularly appears in its computer records of serial rapists and murderers, and the standard diagnostic and treatment manual for psychiatric and emotional disorders lists cruelty to animals a diagnostic criterion for conduct disorders. "A survey of psychiatric patients who had repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found all of them had high levels of aggression toward people as well, including one patient who had murdered a young boy."" is rather inappropriate to the article, and is nothing more than the use of Wikipedia for a touch of mudslinging.

[edit] When?

The article starts "While he was a medical school student," but doesn't tell me when that was. AEton 22:51, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Those UPI links are dead

We need to re-source the text. UPI is not very good about keeping its links around long-term. I removed the links so as to avoid wasting the reader's time. -- 75.28.164.238 19:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Try using the dlw template, or re-sourcing. Failing that, simply remove the URL, but keep a plain text reference to the original source. Derex 09:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
