Euphenics
Created by Mythia (talk). Self nom at 16:50, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that a pacemaker is a form of genetic engineering called Euphenics?


 * Comment Looked at the Eugenics article, and it does not contain the word pacemaker. Euphenics contains the following statement: Euphenics is used today in the medical community to more generally refer to methods of affecting a genetic condition in a positive manner through diet, lifestyle or environment, such as the use of insulin to control diabetes or installation of a pacemaker to offset a heart defect.[8] I don't have access to that source. I'm just confused by the nomination, which appears to be a typographical error. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 17:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Uhm...the part you just copied says "...installation of a pacemaker..."? Mythia (talk) 17:29, 12 February 2012 (UTC) Sorry, I don't know how I made that typo...the correct article is Euphenics... Mythia (talk) 17:32, 12 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg The article is new and nicely referenced (8 different books with page references - well done). All the sources are offline, but looking at the list of sources, one gets the impression that the article creator knows their stuff. I certainly have no knowledge in that area, so couldn't comment on the content. I don't have a problem with assuming good faith for the hook fact. What bothers me, though, is that the article very much feels like a stub. Technically, it's just long enough, but I suggest that some more content be put to it before it's mainpage ready. I'm happy for other editors to chip in and agree or disagree with this judgement call. I also suggest that the article could do with a few more wikilinks; there are some pretty technical terms that the uninitiated might well want to read up on. I wikilinked pacemaker in the hook.

 * Symbol question.svg The use of a pacemaker may be considered "Euphenics" and some genetic engineering may be "Euphenics" However, a pacemaker is a device but not an example of genetic engineering. --PFHLai (talk) 23:34, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg No attempt adding more content in the last fortnight. No alt hook provided within the last week. I'm afraid that we will thus have to reject this nomination.  Schwede 66  00:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
