Jana Van Voorhis

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

There are several reasons for deleting this page. (1) This is a person known for just one event (her death) -- fails WP:BIO. (2) Contributors to the article are now implicated as probable sockpuppets of a banned user known for falsifying sources and content. (3) The article asserts notability on the basis of commentary on the case by medical ethicists, but the one article allegedly about this case is actually about a Swiss case.. In fact, coverage of this case appears to be limited to local Phoenix news media and anti-euthanasia blogs. Orlady (talk) 04:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * keep It's not the death that makes her notable, but the subsequent discussion. DGG (talk) 18:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect to either Final Exit Network or Hemlock Society, as her death and their involvement is the notability.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Unpleasant as it is this seems to have been a notable case. I can also see the case for "merge" but decided to vote "keep" since her case does seem to have been widely discussed. Redddogg (talk) 05:48, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Final Exit Network. Wikipedia is not a place for news reports, no matter how fascinating.  This information is better categorized under the organization that led to her death, since thats what the discussion of her was mainly dealing with. Themfromspace (talk) 06:46, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Final Exit Network. That article is stubby to begin with, and has some difficulty establishing notability had it not been for Jana Van Voorhis. VG &#x260E; 08:14, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
