Inappropriate fork, any relevant material belongs in the main Ariel Sharon article. Putting it in a separate article like this is undue weight. Also, the section on "Obesity" (in itself a problematic heading caption) contains several negative, unsourced statements that violate WP:BLP. *** Crotalus *** 18:55, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Weak keep, but only if combined with a good cleanup. This fork has potential, and there's a good bit of content, but lots of it is somewhat in violation of WP:NPOV and may give undue weight. His health is, however, something of an issue, so I can see this as a possibility. If it is kept, I also think a more appropriate title might be Health of Ariel Sharon, although in the end Ariel Sharon#Health would probably be most appropriate.

  • Delete I fail to see why this would belong anywhere but in the Sharon article. Beach drifter (talk) 19:45, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, merge with the parent article. Concentrating on his health problems may cause neutrality problems, especially as this is a BLP. I agree with the above that it also places an undue weight on the topic which may be inappropriate. If the consensus is to keep the article, I second that it should be moved to a more neutral title such as "Health" instead of "Illnesses". JRP (talk) 19:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep. Classic spinoff per wp:size. A head of state's illness, because it occured while he was head of state, is a notable subject. Article problems can be resolved with regular editing.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep, merge, who cares, editorial decision, speedy close AfD please -- Y not? 21:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete. Merge is a distant second choice, because I can't see any content that needs to be kept. This is undue weight. Not even Trivial Pursuit, The Ariel Sharon Edition will be needing week-by-week specifics on the level of:

On 23 July 2006, CNN reported that Sharon's condition was deteriorating and his kidney function was worsening.[11] On 26 July 2006 doctors moved him to intensive care and began hemofiltration.[12] On 14 August 2006 doctors reported that Sharon's condition worsened significantly and that he was suffering from pneumonia in both lungs.[13] On 29 August, doctors reported that he had been successfully treated for his pneumonia and moved out of intensive care back to the long-term care unit.[14]

On 3 November 2006, it was reported that Sharon had been admitted to intensive care after contracting an infection, though doctors insisted that his condition was 'stable'.[15] He was moved out of the intensive care unit on 6 November 2006 after treatment for a heart infection. Doctors stated that "his heart function has improved after being treated for an infection and his overall condition has stabilised".[16]

: He was sick and moved between hospital rooms. As if there wasn't enough to write about an important and controversial prime minister and military leader. Put this article out of its misery. --GRuban (talk) 22:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
