Improvements

Article could use more content. This may rely on new reporting in the coming days, or just some more research. If this ends up being all there is, it's probably better as a section of 2023 Sudan conflict. CamAnders (talk) 05:42, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This crossed my mind. Perhaps you're right. Or alternatively, the article could be made to be more keepable by making it about the laboratory itself, with a section dedicated to the crisis (as suggested below). Ypna (talk) 02:42, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why not make an article about the Lab itself

write about the lab and this as a section of its history please FuzzyMagma (talk) 23:40, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This crossed my mind too. The question is, is the laboratory sufficiently notable in itself, or is it only notable because of this crisis? I don't know the answer. Ypna (talk) 02:41, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ypna it is notable, known as "Stack Medical Research Laboratories" the lab history is at An outline of the history of Medical Research Institutes in the Sudan. I think it existed since the 1930s with Mansour Ali Haseeb a director (1952–1962) followed by Mohamed Hamad Satti (1963–1968). FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:48, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still worth keeping???

It’s been six months and there is no word about this Lab and no direct repercussion has been reported whether it be a escaping disease or some infected something biting the population. In this regard, is it really worth keeping this article??? Borgenland (talk) 14:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

no, it is not worth. I will come back (see above your section) and try to make it about the lab FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:49, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shifting to make the article about the laboratory itself sounds reasonable to me.

If there's any relation between this laboratory and the al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory that was bombed by the Clinton administration on 20 August 1998 (presumably to distract attention from a certain political embarrassment), that might be notable information. A research lab and a pharmaceutical factory are two quite different things, but they might have had a known (RSed) working relationship. Boud (talk) 23:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Certain embarrassment 😂.

They are different. The factory is in Kafori, Khartoum North and the lab is in the centre of Khartoum. I found a good source for the lab which was build in 1928 FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
