Not nearly enough biographical information for a biographical article. Should be redirected to something like Marlise Munoz case. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 00:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Since the article has been moved to Death of Marlise Munoz, the nomination is no longer operative, as my concerns have been more than satisfied. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 12:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Keep. This article definitely needs expansion. But as to the title, we have precedence with the Jahi McMath article which is significant for very similar reasons to this one, but also contains very little biographical information. Funcrunch (talk) 01:28, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Strong keep. This case sets a very strong legal precedent that Texas law (http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/txstatutes/HS/2/H/166/B/166.049) addressing life support for pregnant women is not applicable in cases of brain death. This case has received huge attention including coverage by New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/08/us/pregnant-and-forced-to-stay-on-life-support.html?_r=1) and Economist (http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21595028-rare-case-rouses-passions-among-pro-choice-and-pro-life-alike-brain-dead-and-pregnant) We also had a similar case from California (Jahi McMath). Nevertheless If people feel strongly about it, this article can be renamed "Marlise Munoz Case."Preetikapoor0 (talk) 01:41, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That's what I'm seeking ... having it renamed to focus on the case, not the person. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 02:00, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds Good.Preetikapoor0 (talk) 02:17, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Move to focus on the case or delete. As it stands, the article clearly fails WP:BLP1E. Jonathunder (talk) 02:28, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Just move it if necessary. Don't delete it. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 02:39, 26 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: This article has been moved to Death of Marlise Munoz. Gobōnobō  + c 04:41, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. I'm withdrawing the nomination. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 12:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Absolutely set to become a major rep. rights/bioethics case. This isn't me crystalling - it's reliable sources predicting it. Anyhow, it's far surpassed the ridiculously low standard that the WP community usually likes to use for events, especially when they're missing white women or murders in Israel. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 05:01, 26 January 2014 (UTC)


 * KEEP - An important case; a notable case. Keep under the new title "Death of ...".  Thanks.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
