Thalidomide[edit]

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but, Thalidomide is a painkiller and has recently been used as treatment against types of cancer and certain strains of leprosy. However, none of its uses could be called "life prolonging" for a person with renal failure. So, long story short, she got deported, but was able to receive dialysis, so then her death was blamed on a lack of thalidomide availability. That doesn't wash, but I'll defer to someone with medical credentials. 131.61.211.15 (talk) 17:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused by the strange thalidomite usage these days!--86.16.10.210 (talk) 19:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notable?[edit]

It is about a person that was only sightly noteworthy and was put in for political correctness reasons.--86.25.52.179 (talk) 16:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scrap it- She was not all that note worthy after all, it was just a bubbling up of press hype against the rather unpopular regime of Gordon Brown.--86.29.241.148 (talk) 14:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC) Defiantly should stay online, this case was a great embarrassment to a large number of people, her case was front page news for several weeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.17.148 (talk) 16:26, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Noteworthyness[edit]

She was only a minor figure in Wales and Africa.----213.81.116.186 (talk) 08:00, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD/db[edit]

I believe she was only a brief 'cause celeb' and is thus not really noteworthy in the fullness of time. Her name is now all but forgotten out side of Ghana and Wales.--Wipsenade (talk) 18:22, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can't use the db tag on an article that already went through a full-scale AfD discussion! --Orange Mike | Talk 22:39, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
