== Appeal deletion of Medical equipment page == | |||
[[Medical equipment]] has some issues relating to manufacturer lockdown and repair which are important (right to repair is right to save lives) and which may be somewhat different from issues in other devices. This page appears to be the natural place to cover these issues. | |||
There was a device page on medical ventilators, but it has been demoted to an incident page. | |||
This deletion request is particularly confusing, because @[[User:Beanie Bo|Beanie Bo]] who proposed deletion, has what looks like some notes for an article covering right to repair of medical devices on their talk page. | |||
Not every "new consumer" issue with medical equipment falls under right to repair. There are also right to own considerations. (Such as having access to and control of my personal information - the readouts from my Cpap/pacemaker/etc. Also privacy issues. Who controls the device. ...) There are medical supplies (e.g. continuous glucose monitor patches or insulin refills, and things like region locking, supplier lockin, etc.) So I would not favor just moving the page to be only medical right to repair. | |||
I am confident that there is more than enough verifiable information and issues to make at least one article. | |||
I think the page should be kept. Having some general pages that link things together is helpful. Especially when a wiki is so skeletal as this. The page can certainly use improvement. I think having the beginnings of a structure encourages growth. | |||
There is, as always, this disincentive to do anything to improve the page when it has a deletion notice. (No sense working on something that going to be destroyed.) [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 02:32, 2 October 2025 (UTC) | |||
