Global hypokinesis of left ventricle

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Declined PROD for a medical defect. Article's contents are completely taken from the comments section of a forum post in a website called MedHelp found here. The "case study" is one of the commenters who said they have such-and-such a condition, and the editor has taken these comments at face value and thrown them in the article. I'm not sure if this is a case of copyright violation, but the contents of the article are not originating from reliable sources.

 * Delete. The copyright violation is clearly a fatal flaw.  But that aside, everything contributed by the article creator Manarg forwards the idea that there is some sort of heart defect caused by frequent speculation or gambling, dubbed "Gambler's Syndrome".  A page for Gambler's Syndrome was recently deleted as well and may have been related.  Regardless, there does not appear to be any reliable sources supporting this claim, especially of the quality expected for medical topics.  Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:38, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete It seems a simple case of COPYVIO; the article is also unsourced, hence fails WP:GNG. But since it's Unambiguous Copyright Infringement, can't we just do a SPEEDY DELETE under G12? Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:38, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
