This page on "Survival of the Sickest (book)" should not be deleted because it is a book that talks about diseases, a very prominent encyclopedia topic, in a new and interesting way. Just as a point of reference, there is a thriving article for the book Freakonomics, which was produced by the same publisher and has a similar writing style (though it is about economics as opposed to medicine). I am still in the process of editing the article and to make it sound thoroughly objective and encyclopedia-like. This is not a promotion of the book. It is a book worth writing about because there are discussions worth having. There are controversial ideas presented and I hope to expose some them to the public criticism it has received. I am in no way affiliated with the author, book publisher, or their affiliates.

Thank you.

AFD[edit]

i helped this article, and apparently that was supportive of a speedy keep. this book seems very interesting, so it deserves a solid stub article. i had some edit conflicts, which i think i was able to not mess up. if i deleted someone elses recent work, it was an accident.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:59, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
