On one hand, I don't want to delete this article, rather have it rewritten as it is a notable topic. On the other hand, it is clearly a POV fork and not neutral, if it isn't someone's essay or dissertation. At the same time, this new editor published this very same (unchanged) article under "medical quackery in pakistan", which clearly states the point of view of this person. Lastly, the "reference" links to a healthcare providing website (which doesn't really back up the dissertation) riddled with "testimonials", so there's the possible connection of promotion. Either way though, this article's quality is severely atrocious and riddled with original research, and I am nominating it for deletion. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 07:10, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for the reasons well stated by the nominator; I had tagged this for speedy deletion as needlessly duplicating Health care in Pakistan, and Noian may well be right that that wasn't the best use of the tag (sorry). But to the extent this differs from the existing article, it differs in being (1) unnecessary, (2) unsourced, (3) an apparent POV fork, and (4) in general, "severely atrocious" as stated above.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 07:15, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and redirect to health care in Pakistan, of which it's an essay-like duplication (as noted by the above users). I think this could legitimately have been redirected rather than speedied. EALacey (talk) 07:37, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• True, and I've done that in other cases, but I hesitate because it basically amount to me unilaterally deleting the article with no admin oversight, and a n00b new editor may not know how to undo or contest it.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 07:57, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Those are reasonable points. EALacey (talk) 08:23, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. many problems with reliabilty of this article. LibStar (talk) 12:05, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unsourced POV fork of Health care in Pakistan. The editors who created Healthcare and Pakistan and Health Care and Pakistan (an almost identical page, which I have redirected) had previously added the same link to Health care in Pakistan, but it was being reverted. snigbrook (talk) 14:47, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
