Hangon[edit]

Dr. Strassman was one of the early researchers and was one of the first to identify the illness, "Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome", through his study and interviews with Korean war prisoners, as documented in his paper A Prisoner Of War Syndrome: Apathy as a Reaction to Severe Stress— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cchuckwood (talk • contribs)

That's a claim of notability in my opinion. It may not clearly indicate that he's notable but it's at least enough to warrant some research. I am going to check out the possibility of part or all of this article being copied and pasted from another source. If it is and the text is copyrighted, we'll have to delete the article and start over. I'll try to make sure you're in the loop on what's happening. In the meantime, if you know the text was taken from somewhere else, that would save us some time. OlYeller^Talktome 21:17, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The use of quotes, wording, and general style seem to indicate this was taken from a printed/online obituary. I can't immediately find it, but it seems more likely than not. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:20, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't disagree with you. Given the date of death, I thought an obituary might have been used as well. I'll dig a little deeper on that front. You can replace the tag if you want but I'd rather it not be there after a few days if the only thing we have to go on is a hunch. OlYeller^Talktome 21:27, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey OlYeller and Kinu. Thanks for being Wiki Watchdogs. I really appreciate objectivity. I want Wikipedia, just like you, to be just and correct with verifiable data. The guy, (yes, my Dad), just died a few days ago, and yes, my journalist brother composed his Obit, and that's the main body of this article. Please be patient. I'm running as fast as I can to address these issues so this page is verifiable, with proper references, and truths. Please grant me some time to sort this out.. this speedy deletion. Although I'm his son, I believe Dr. Harvey D. Strassman contributed significantly to psychiatry, medicine, and the beginnings of what is now called "Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome".

I appreciate your help with this.

I will accept deletion if I can't come up with verifiable content, sufficient attribution, and, proper references. Thanks. user:Cchuckwood 20:19, 1 February 2011 (PST)

Hey Chuck, I certainly don't mind waiting. The article isn't up for deletion right now. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here and I'll do my best to help as best I can. OlYeller^Talktome 04:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ol Yeller! Thanks for offering your help. Really appreciate it. My brother is an investigative journalist and together we'll be getting some more online attributions and verifiable sources to make sure this page is quality Wikipedia. Thanks!
