Paul Karason[edit]

Procedural nom for an IP. Contested prod, rationale for deletion was:

Media coverage seems to be nothing to do with the subject, and everything to do with turning blue - little more than another "man bites dog" story (WP:NOT#NEWS). That the article is verifiable does not by necessity mean that this person is notable. We're not short of an article on people turning blue, and the sources would suggest that historically this was not uncommon (albeit not to this degree). This article does not contribute to "the sum of human knowledge". Closedmouth (talk) 13:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral as nominator, my nomination should not be taken as a vote for deletion. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge & Redirect to Argyria#Reports in humans. He is already mentioned there, as well as several sources including. Adding the additional sourced material should be fine. Turlo Lomon (talk) 14:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect per Turlo Lomon. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Anyone can do an editorial merge. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. No scope for a personal article. JFW | T@lk 19:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect per Turlo Lomon. When the article is about the condition, write about the condition, not the person. Stifle (talk) 19:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete His disease is notable (and already has an entry) but he is not. He's just a by-stander to a notable condition, but otherwise is not involved with it. 216.121.230.246 (talk) 22:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although, in this condition, I would vote for a merge/redirect, I think it actually has a bit of potential for information about the person himself. As for the discussion seeking deletion because the article focuses mostly on his affliction, how often do we delete actors articles for talking too much about filmography... wouldn't that belong on the movie page?
