Talk:University of Louisville School of Medicine

Contested deletion

This article SHOULD NOT BE DELETED because it is an important article regarding the University of Louisville School of Medicine, one of the oldest and most historically important medical schools in the United States. Below is a list of reasons why I think "University of Louisville School of Medicine" should be separated from "University of Louisville." I'm extremely new to Wikipedia, so bare with me:

1) The University of Louisville School of Medicine is separate from the University of Louisville, in that it has its own dean and institutional hierarchy (just like every other M.D. granting institution in the United States). (http://louisville.edu/medschool/facultystaff/). Thus, taking other wikis of medical schools as precedent, University of Louisville's School of Medicine should have its own article. It is the only M.D. granting medical school in the entire United States that doesn't have an article. (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/List_of_medical_schools_in_the_United_States)

2) (This is the important one) The University of Louisville School of Medicine is an important part of mid-18th century medical history in the United States. Those working at U of Ls school of medicine basically invented modern specialized trauma center procedure. Most notably Arnold Griswold and his colleagues at U of L perfected trauma care (http://louisville.edu/ur/ucomm/mags/winter99/archives.html). They were the first, for instance to equip police and fire vehicles with medical supplies to give emergency care while en route to the hospital. (http://books.google.com/books?id=HbZMAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA1809#v=onepage&q&f=false ; http://books.google.com/books?id=ltcEPWDHIkMC&pg=PA212#v=onepage&q&f=false). Topics related to trauma care and the surgical, clinical, and theoretical evolution of medicine at Louisville in the 1800s stand outside the scope of the general article entitled: University of Louisville.

Louisville's medical school innovations don't stop with trauma care though. World's first self-contained artificial heart transplant 2001 World's first successful hand transplant 1999 Development of Pap Smear 1970 Development of Autotransfusion 1935

These milestones in medicine, all connected with the doctors working at University of Louisville School of Medicine, should be elaborated on in a separate article for University of Louisville School of Medicine. They are outside of the scope of the general University of Louisville article.

If there's any evidence as to the need to separate University of Louisville School of Medicine from University of Louisville 'general,' read the University of Louisville page. There is no detailed information about any of the developments aforementioned. Louisville's medical school has fostered a clinical, pragmatic medical environment unique from University of Louisville's general culture. The School of Medicine's culture can be better and more fully addressed in a separate article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.30.172.228 (talk • contribs) 12:44, 6 August 2012‎

Wikipedia's choice of article subjects is not based on what's "important", but rather on what is already noted in published reliable sources. This is (somewhat misleadingly) called wp:Notability. The best way to establish notability for this article is to identify existing publications that are substantially about this subject. Transient mention generally is not sufficient, especially in news article sources. If you can point out such sources, deletion is much less likely.LeadSongDog come howl! 21:23, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
