Starvation?

Someone needs to build on that.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:07, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And exactly what did you wanted to build on that? Hate propaganda and lies, that dirty journalists did? FYI, Polis in his advanced age went a bit south in head and believed in various alternative medicine charlatanisms. He had a persistent skin infection and was trying to "treat" it with "medical" fasting. And, well, overdid it. Succesfully fasted himself to death. His personality traits and not especially good relations with relatives likely played their role too. Financially he was reasonably well off, he was receiving state pension and academical lifetime grant of scientist emeritus. Overall, he received approximately twice as much income as any other average local retiree of his age. No reason to "starve", except his personal beliefs in pseudomedicine charlatanisms. And all that is nothing to write in Wikipedia articles. You may write about how some rockstar overdosed drugs or blew his head off with shotgun, but nothing so interesting happened with Polis and he was no rockstar either.

By Wikipedia guidelines, descriptions of detailed mode of dying of each not very significant person are not needed. 5.179.29.84 (talk) 15:53, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Soviet" pharmacologist nonsense

This bit of nonsense was added by user Insider on April 13. Jānis Polis was born and raised in Latvia at a time when it was a free state. The communist occupation of Latvia from 1945 until 1991 didn't make him a "Soviet" by any stretch of the imagination. —Quicksilver^{T @} 05:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
