[edit] Merge Compassionate use into Expanded access

• Propose merger. Articles are mostly redundant and could easily be merged. The expanded access article is longer with more references and more than just a definition at this time, and 'expanded access' is more encompassing and neutral than 'compassionate use', so it would be easier to merge in the indicated direction.

• • Recind proposal. No debate/dissent ensued in 3 months. Jethero^Talk 23:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

• Instead, note that the compassionate use article was essentially a copy of a definition from commerical site mederms.com, and then a personal point of veiw interpretation of what that means. I will replace the article with a vocabulary notice and reference to wiktionary, where definitions belong, (though there is not yet a wiktionary definition.) Jethero^Talk 23:26, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I think that your original merge proposal was the right move. Compassionate use should be an automatic redirect to this article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:34, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
