[edit] Stem Cell Surgery

A typical example of how news reports become Wikipedia articles without much thinking. It advertises the unbelievable achievements of one person who has done something but only ten patients have been treated (PMID 15745776) without significant follow-up and this treatment is still in its very earliest stages. If this should be on Wikipedia at all, it should not be its own article. Delete. JFW | T@lk 16:46, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and there must be a way to perform Stem Cell Surgery in all sorts of organs. The content therefore does not reflect that title. JFW | T@lk

• Keep after POV removal and rewrite. The tone is indeed too strong and balanced toward one specific treatment for a decent article, but the topic is both notable and relevant. --Several Times 18:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for now, I'll later strip it of its POV and merge it to stem cell. If you'll read the talk page, I've written just yesterday that the information in the article will go nicely in the stem cell article under potential uses, which already contains discussion of stem cell transplantion on the heart, spinal cord, etc. There is no need to delete this; the term is notable and useful. -D.

• Merge with regular stem cell page. It hasn't been developed enough to warrant it's own page, nor does it pertain to surgery in general. The only press it has received is on article on the Beeb [[2]] Barneygumble 18:38, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to stem cell. No original research. Alex.tan 05:15, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
