User:Arindamp has inserted a section on Dr Pal's cerebral haemorrhage, which is totally out of context here. Wikipedia is for outlining the achievements and career of an illustrious person. Inserting a section on someone's unfortunate health condition is in poor taste. More importantly, the details provided in this section are not accurate accroding to Dr. Pal's immediate family. As a well wisher of Dr Pal and his immediate family, I am removing this section. Adat1961 (talk) 01:31, 19 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

More critically, Arindamp did not cite any reliable sources about the alleged condition. A claim about a health condition would be relevant for the article if it were reported by multiple reliable sources. However, in the absence of the source, it must be removed from the article per WP:BLP. —C.Fred (talk) 01:34, 19 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

C.Fred is exactly right. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons should be removed immediately. Thank you. Pseudonymous Rex (talk) 01:37, 19 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
