Proposed merge with Flammer syndrome

edit

This isn't a recognized clinical entity, and nearly all the sources are written by Josef Flammer (and people connected to him). It would make more sense to present this as his idea, rather than as a recognized, accepted disease. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I accept the consensus. Go ahead and merge. Axl ¤ [Talk] 15:06, 7 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
I agree that the individual is notable (as I said above). The syndrome seems not to be notable. I find no independent high-quality MEDRS on the topic in Pubmed. When I search Elsevier's extensive ClinicalKey collection of biomedical resources (including many textbooks, etc), I find no independent high-quality MEDRS. Hence, my recommendation above. Perhaps I'm overlooking some clear evidence of notability for the syndrome (I certainly acknowledge that's possible - and this might be a regional/language thing)? — soupvector (talk) 21:58, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Merge header removed - described as "outdated" - though it's not clear to me that a consensus was reached nor that independent, high-quality sources agree on the use of the term "Flammer syndrome"; I wonder if the existence of that WP page will drive its adoption. — soupvector (talk) 19:00, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Alleged "conflict of interest"

edit

Since the remark "major contributor" obviously refers to me and the gentleman who has tagged a number of my contributions with this COI has not respondend to my email, let me - once again - state that I know the subject of this page from meetings (when meetings were still held, before Corona), have read some of his publications. Ophthalmology is a small field and everybody basically knows everybody - am I the only one from this discipline who now and then contributes to Wikipedia ? Should I apologize for it ? Let me repeat here: I'm not related to any of the individuals I have contributed about, do not work or have worked for any of them, have no relation to their business or whatever they may be doing at the moment. What else can I do ? If somebody from the community has some advice - it would be much appreciated !George G Milford (talk) 17:45, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
