- Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:45, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
buidhe placed the {{GAR request}} template on this 2012 listing with the edit summary "fails WP:MEDRS due to dated sources. Major updates needed". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- It was actually promoted in 2020, but some of the sources seem excessively dated. (t · c) buidhe 01:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- The text has not been maintained current. Some samples from this version:
- "Bipolar disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability worldwide" ... See WHO on 2019 disability
- However, a reanalysis of data from the National Epidemiological Catchment Area survey in the United States suggested ... cited to 2003, followed by ... A more recent analysis of data ... cited to 2007.
- And this confusing bit of "prose" in "Resistance to treatment" wasn't in the GA version; it doesn't appear the article has been watched, updated and tended in the three years since its GA listing, so there could be deeper problems. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 06:53, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Change "flucatuates" (misspelled) to "fluctuates". Mario I Rossi (talk) 04:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Removed the typo. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 05:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Remove the comedy/tragedy cartoon
editI'm asking that we remove the comedy/tragedy icon from within the summary section. As a serious disease, which affects real people, it the subject shouldn't be reduced to a cartoon symbol. Similarly, readers looking for information to may have a diminished opinion of the content when presented with symbolism instead of professional facts, analysis, or history.
Suggest replacing this with an icon related to the health classification, such as described here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9791613/ 129.78.56.157 (talk) 00:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- This has been discussed several times and can be found in the talk page archive. There was a RfC in 2016 here. Personally I am not a member of the fan club for this image, but it does have its supporters.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- thanks. Hairmer (talk) 20:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Hairmercould you please explain how you have a conflict of interest with this article? Also, the sourcing standard here is WP:MEDRS, which is higher than for most other articles - I have no carefully evaluated but strongly suspect this source does not pass it. Rusalkii (talk) 20:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I just noticed the "paid by MHA" on your page, sorry. I don't think this is a better source than the existing ones, and I don't think it makes sense to include the number of teenagers affected in the lead. Rusalkii (talk) 20:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok thanks. They are a credible organization around since 1909 that have done lot's of research on mental health. Hairmer (talk) 20:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
