[edit] Antibiotic Resistance in Cancer Patients

Antibiotic Resistance in Cancer Patients (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Reads like an essay. Agree that infectious disease in a major issue in cancer patients, and that some have resistant organisms, but this is largely opinion and conjencture. JFW | T@lk 17:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

• Merge anything relevant and sourced into antibiotic resistance, and delete. Antibiotic resistance in cancer patients is just not that different from resistance in any heavily treated patient population, and certainly not distinct enough to warrant more than a mention/section in the main antibiotic resistance article.

• Delete (merging anything relevant as per MastCell) - most of article concentrates on bacterial tranmission in clinical environment and mechanism of bacteria developing esistance - all duplication of information elsewhere. David Ruben ^Talk 18:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons given above. Seems like it was written by one author for a different purpose, then cut-and-pasted into wikipedia. It's so clearly a single author's opinion that it is almost appropriate that he took credit by name at the bottom. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 21:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. I would be hesitant even merging what you could from the text of the articles. I have a feeling that the principle author doesn't understand the wikipedia process. Better to take just the references from his text and use if needed in the antibiotic resistance article.Ksheka 22:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Some references are cited for dubious arguments--Countincr ^{( T@lk )} 12:17, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - it should be rewritten totally. It's full of medical pieces of advice, POV statements, etc. NCurse _work 14:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
