lack of notability (already brought up in talk page)

Removed inappropriate notability tag. She is a well known public commentator on healthcare inequality, has >80,000 followers on Twitter (her lede mentions that she is a well-known science communicator) and has served as President of various organisations.

Deletion[edit]

This person is not famous. They are no more intriguing than any other physician. No noteworthy accomplishments. Ancapman (talk) 18:53, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Ancapman. Having gone to Yale as an undergrad and having a semi-viral tweet does not make one notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.52.51.143 (talk) 17:15, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed that the article be deleted as the subject doesn't appear to be notable. -- ParadiseDesertOasis8888 (talk) 07:28, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Naming in sexual assault lawsuit[edit]

Dr. Choo was named in a lawsuit in which she failed to report a sexual assault that she became aware of at OHSU. This is a national storyline and absolutely merits a description in the Controversy section.

Due to the curious nature of some edits on this page it appears there are conflicts of interest, if not Dr. Choo herself on this page. My attempt at an edit was quickly rolled back and I have concern that this page is not going to be an impartial summary of her career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jovitz (talk • contribs) 16:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition states that she "failed to report an OHSU resident's sexual assault, despite her obligation as a mandated reporter". That's not a fact, that's a claim made by a plaintiff. Wording aside, Choo's alleged role is peripheral and doesn't seem to merit inclusion in a biography of a living person at this time. Feoffer (talk) 18:47, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
