I appreciate the fact that this article describes a memorial that honors a physician. However, the WPMED project tag indicates that an article is supported by members of the WPMED project. It does not merely indicate that the article has some connection or another to the field of medicine. If you want to indicate that the article is connected to medicine, then you use a WP:category on the main article (consider Category:Canadian physicians). IMO, it is inappropriate for someone wholly unconnected with the medicine project to insist that the project be listed as supporting an article.
Obviously, I'm only one editor: if you'd like to have another opinion, then you can leave a message at the project's talk page and see whether anyone there thinks a drinking fountain with a physician's name on it is sufficiently medicine-related as to be supported by the project. I doubt, however, that you're very likely to find such support. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 20:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I would think that relevance to the project is the determining factor here. I believe that a memorial commemorating the significant impact that a physician had on a community is directly related to the field of medicine. You disagree, referring to it as a water fountain with a physician's name on it. You may be right, and your work with the project would suggest that you would have better insight into the issue. It could be that articles related to individual physicians are not typically included in the project. You've raised the issue, and others can chime in here on this talk page. I'm happy to abide by any consensus that develops on the relevance of this article to the project.
Thank you for your category suggestion. Skeezix1000 ( talk) 12:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
