[edit] Case Report Form

No useful content, nothing really links here (the article is only linked from "See Alsos", seems to exist primarily to advertise a commerical service via external link MastCell 04:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and ditch the external link. Content appears encyclopedic, although it borders on dictionary definition. The external link appears to be commercial linkspam of some sort, at the least not entirely relevant. I don't know what the Google result threshold is, but "case report form" turns up 189,00 results[1]. There's also a print reference. However, cleanup would probably do the article some good. --Keitei (talk) 06:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the remark, I hope the cleanup of the external link clarifies the issue (see also German Wikipedia CRF article) ? There are articles linking to "CRF" which not existed, so I created the inital article as a start. It should be marked as a stub? Pvosta 07:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• As a note: I am trying to create articles explaining aspects of a clinical trial, is this considered wrong? Pvosta 10:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Important term, which can certainly be expanded beyond a dictionary definition. The wiki content on clinical trials sorely needs expansion. If clean-up and/or removal of promotional links are necessary, then tag accordingly. Espresso Addict 04:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Case Report Form seems to be a recognized and commonly used term in biomedical research and clinical trials. The Google search for "case report form" turns up many listings related to public health and epidemiology, across many different sites and even different countries. -- Sertrel (talk | contribs) 07:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
