Talk:Benveniste affair

message: I'd like to propose that the present entry be renamed "The Benveniste Affair", on the grounds that it focuses almost entirely on the latter, while carrying virtually none of the biographical material users would expect from an entry with this title. I'd be happy to run up a stub for the bio entry very quickly if this meets with general approval.Robma 18:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, so this is actually supposed to be a biography.  I was wondering.  It  does need renaming. –––Martinphi  (Talk Ψ Contribs) 05:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  As this person is clearly notable, this page should stay. Some information could be moved between here  and water memory, and the biographical section could be extended. However, this person is most notable for his water memory Nature paper and his junk science --DrEightyEight (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 10:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Benveniste / Benveniste Affair

message: This article seems to go into a lot of special pleading - practically to the point of making it a POV-fork of water memory, Benveniste's main obsession. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 02:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The problem is here is that they let a stage magician handle the results. He had a million dollars at stake. Do you not think he used sleight of hand to exchange the results with his own prepared results? 
Seems like the most logical conclusion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.125.183 (talk) 17:59, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah right. It is more "logical" to assume that a liquid substance containing of three atoms has a humongously complex property you usually need a brain for, and that someone needlessly risked his own money, then cheated in order to keep it, than that some guy and his lab made a mistake because they wanted to believe. --Hob Gadling (talk) 16:15, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think it makes much difference, but I ended up creating the Jacques Benveniste article and changing a few links around, so part of it was accepted. Aircorn (talk) 21:40, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Status of this request 

message: *Specific text to be added or removed: Jacques Benveniste (12 March 1935 – 3 October 2004) was a French immunologist and physician, born in Paris. 
*Reason for the change: because he WAS a physician : Interne des hôpitaux de la région de Paris (1959), interne des hôpitaux de Paris (1961-1966), Docteur en médecine à la faculté de médecine de Paris (1967). Chef de clinique à la faculté de médecine de Paris (1967-1969)
I am indeed from Jacques Benveniste's family but this request has nothing to do with conflict of interest or promotion, it is just fact : Jacques Benveniste was a physician, so why this couldn't appear on his biographic section?
*References supporting change: https://histoire.inserm.fr/les-femmes-et-les-hommes/jacques-benveniste/(page)/2

replies: text: No, because this is not a biography, but an article about the Benvenisteaffair. See my answer to the request you made above. Thanks. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 14:49, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If the article mentionned some biographic facts like "Benveniste died in 2004 in Paris following heart surgery", why can't we add that he was a physician ? Thanks, Claire Benveniste (talk) 16:28, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
