This event may have been historic; it was, of course, the first pig heart to human heart transportation in the world. However, it has led to this article falling victim to WP:BIO1E. As far as I am aware; the previous AfD for the article had many pointless 'Keep' comments; one says "showing that the Wikipedia way is wacky". As previously mentioned in the 1st AfD nom; the WP:CRIME pointer also fails. Case in point; this article violates BIO1E, CRIME, and GNG. Fakescientist8000 (talk) 21:49, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Xenotransplantation. The event is notable, he is not. The only thing that can be written about him other than the procedure is his involvement in a crime, but that is not enough to justify a separate article. Pawnkingthree (talk) 11:08, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Exactly; if he was also notable for that crime, a justification for his article could be made. However; he is not. Fakescientist8000 (talk) 16:04, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep subject is notable, is not a BLP, and has enough info for a page. Thebrakeman2 (talk) 19:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * However, he is not notable; the event that took place was, hence failing WP:BIO1E. Fakescientist8000 (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * You don't fucking decide what I think is notable.Thebrakeman2 (talk) 18:11, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright then, let's not violate WP:CIVIL, now! Anywho; this article doesn't concern you. It concerns reliable sources, who didn't care about this man until the last 3 months of his life. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 (did I do something wrong? let me know!) 19:23, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No one cared about Boyd Bush until after he died, and both pages are here for the exact same reason. And fucking cut out the little "cheers" thing. It's very clearly some passive aggressive shit. Thebrakeman2 (talk) 14:41, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand the frustration but what matters here is the underlying rationale and application of policy. To that end, the use of profanity does nothing to embellish what may otherwise be a valid point, hence would you mind striking the profanity per WP:CIVIL?

 * I would seriously advise that you cut out the profanity. It does nothing to prove your point, hell, it even goes against your point that I'm being 'passive-aggressive'. Anywho, I have repeatedly told you to not point to Boyd Bush or Baby Fae or whoever. Doing that actually weakens that point too, per WP:WAX. Cheers!

 * Redirect Keep votes are not addressing the clear WP:BIO1E violation. If Bennett is notable for something other than his passive involvement in one event, what is it?  GreatCaesarsGhost   12:57, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
