The result was delete. I agree with Mavourneed, there are 93 names on the list of killed patients. I don't think a merge is appropriate in this instance. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Non-notable just for being a patient of Jack Kevorkian. Already listed as such in article. Mavourneen 18:04, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and redirect to Jack Kevorkian. Plausible search term. --Dhartung | Talk 18:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

People: there are 93 names on his list of patients. We cannot and definitely should not be picking and choosing, which is what the creator of these four articles (so far) did. They are all either equally notable or non-notable. We can't merge and redirect 93 names, can we??? Come on! Common sense! Mavourneen 18:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all such people as non-notable. MarkBul 19:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I agree with MarkBul. Delete all of them. That's what Kervorkian tried to do, after all. No, but seriously, the 93 patients should be merged to the Kevorkian article or to a separate list, not have individual articles. Qworty 20:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since when is information invaluable? Jack Kevorkian is an extremely controversial doctor and there are people who research this. Students, psychologists, and medical professionals to name a few. The information listed in these articles will soon be nearly inattainable. These articles have no negative impact on Wikipedia whatsoever. Information, regardless of how arcane, is the basis for Wikipedia's creation. Just because many people haven't heard of something doesn't make it unimportant. Merging these articles would eventually make the host article too long. Niels0827 15:24, 23 September 2007 CST.
