[edit] Plagiarism

The text of this article seems to be heavily plagiarized from the AP news story. Please rewrite or add a plagiarism template. --18.96.0.200 16:11, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Sigh... Why don't you report AP for plagiarizing the New England Journal of Medicine? --Camptown 10:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

If this is a copyvio then that's a serious problem. Whether or whether not the AP did the same thing to the New England Journal of Medicine is somewhat irrelevant Nil Einne 15:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

What section of this article is plagiarized? Please elaborate. (Ghostexorcist 21:30, 28 July 2007 (UTC))

Even if it isn't copyvio, the language needs improving. "last earthly breath"?!? Please. This is an encyclopedia.--134.159.165.7 02:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Deletion

OPPOSE. If the New England Journal of Medicine considers Oscar and his story worthy of publication, given the numerous submissions from which it has to choose, then Oscar is definitely notable enough for Wikipedia. Quidam65 03:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

• Agreed. yalbik 06:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Of course the article should be kept! --Camptown 08:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
    • yeah i can't see in any way why this should be deleted--Ragingbullfrog

The consensus from the afd log was to keep the article. No more votes are being accepted.(Ghostexorcist 19:04, 27 July 2007 (UTC))
