Bowel management[edit]

The article discusses a bowel management program at a Cincinnati clinic. Not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, original research, not verifiable, probably conflict of interest, advertisement, ... Don't even know if it really needs discussion, doubted to propose deletion but would prefer other opinions. Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Basically a rewording of the three sources, not to the point of copyvio however. This whole page is mostly a how-to with original research and advertisement thrown in. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 21:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral per Tim Vickers. There is a useful subject here, but this isn't the article for that subject. Perhaps stubify and tag for expert attention? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 02:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Blatant rewrite. Still close enough that I wondered whether it still might be violative. --Evb-wiki (talk) 21:33, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with possibly speedy per G11 (that's the spam one, right?). Also, ew! --Jaysweet (talk) 22:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Changed to Weak keep or merge, per TimVickers. Still, what a depressing way to start my morning... --Jaysweet (talk) 12:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep, notable topic and verifiable material. Needs reducing to a stub and a total rewrite, but AfD isn't cleanup. Tim Vickers (talk) 00:47, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect, after working on the article for a while I see not much that isn't a copyright violation will remain. Therefore I'd recommend a merge of a summary of this article and its references as a sub-section in Fecal_incontinence#Treatment. However, as PMID 11137690, PMID 9473119, PMID 17651510 and PMID 9368274 show, this is a topic that could have a good article written about it in the future.

- Support M & R per Tim Vickers. --Evb-wiki (talk) 02:58, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep mainly as a disambiguation page. The text and references should be merged into the "Fecal incontinence" and "Constipation" articles. Axl (talk) 19:21, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
