Subjective

The tone of this article is quite subjective: "very brilliant student", "keen in medical research", ... It is also an almost exact copy of the given reference: [1] which makes either this or the article in J Pharmacol Pharmacother a potential copyright violation. --WiseWoman (talk) 09:14, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

The entire article seems to be copy-pasted from a Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics paper apparently wrtten by a former student. It's published under an open license so I've added the proper attribution, but I have concerns about the quality of the source. Two of the three references are a Wikipedia article on another scientist and a newsletter written by one of the authors. The whole thing is written like a promotional piece or obituary, with flowery language such as "brilliant student", "outstanding merits" and "simple, kindhearted and pious". It would be preferable to use objective, independent sourcing. –dlthewave ☎ 13:32, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
