Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arsenicosis

Arsenicosis was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to keep.

Arsenicosis would appear to be related to arsenic. This page, instead, tells us that "Arsenicosis is a disease you get from drinking too much ale or beer discovered by the Greek scientist Arimedes in 265 BC. Symptoms include shortness of breath, stress, and sudden lack of strenght, etc. The disease has no cure and is fatal within 36 hours of contraction." This would appear to be patent nonsense. Likely a valid topic, but this ain't it. -- Smerdis of Tlön 16:10, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep for likely merger with arsenic poisoning now. -- Smerdis of Tlön 01:13, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * delete, this needs be a real article, not something someone probably made up. Lachatdelarue [[User talk:Lachatdelarue|(talk)]] 16:19, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * No google hits for "arsenicosis arimedes". A real article is needed, this isn't a start. P.S. Arsenicosis is a serious problem in bangladesh due to contaminated water Kappa 17:28, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Is there any substantial difference between Arsenicosis and Arsenic poisoning? - RedWordSmith 17:49, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * My suspicion is that "arsenic poisoning" is acute or deliberate while "arsenicosis" is chronic or not necessarily fatal. That might be a place to redirect this, though.  -- Smerdis of Tlön 19:19, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect. -Sean Curtin 01:00, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge - it was vandalism but has now improved. JFW | T@lk  16:00, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
