Andrew Watt Kay

Moved to mainspace by Iainmacintyre (talk). Self-nominated at 10:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Article new enough (moved to mainspace on 23 November), long enough (3,460), NPOV, no obvious close paraphrasing/plagiarism/copyvio, inline citations to reliable references. Hook short enough and interesting. Adequate QPQ.
  • In terms of issues, "He studied the secretion of gastric acid, thought at that time to be the most important factor in the development of duodenal ulcers" is not supported by the refs given especially the bit about it being considered the most important factor.
  • "This test became known as Kay's augmented histamine test", it would useful to have ref showing that someone else used that term than his own paper.
  • "widely used in the investigation and treatment of peptic ulcer" in the lead is not mentioned later in the article with an reference supporting that his eponymous test was used for this purpose by others widely.
  • "which was at that time a major clinical problem in Western societies" is not verified by the reference, and I would argue that PUD is still a major clinical problem. Cowlibob (talk) 14:46, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for making the above amendments. Good to go. Hook verified by The Herald reference. Cowlibob (talk) 10:29, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the cite for the hook fact is talking about a "keynote paper" on "duodenal ulcers", not an "original paper" on the "augmented histamine test". Yoninah (talk) 20:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks Template:Reply to for pointing that out. I have corrected the sources in the article. The sources for the hook should indeed be Kay and Scotsman. Papamac (talk) 12:29, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you. Restoring tick. Yoninah (talk) 16:47, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
