GA Reassessment

I did some editing here in response to a GAR request, with the aim of improving the article but feel it needs more work to keep its Good Article status. The major concern is the sourcing for medical information. A lot is from first hand experiences or non Med compliant sources. There is the information out there (NCBI search) so it can be improved. For the discussion that lead to this GAR request see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine/Archive 88#Recreational drug experiences. @Alexbrn, Ozzie10aaaa, Sizeofint, and Seppi333: from that discussion.

- Delist. Forgotten about this. From a quick look, the article is still terrible. The health content needs gutting as a first step. Alexbrn (talk) 03:33, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- delist agree the article is going to have to be overhauled to put it mildly--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:44, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delist and speedily. As a long time editor of this article, entirely in the botanical and historical areas, it's still terrible. There is so much that needs updating — everything after the Chemistry section — that the article needs to be redone. That would be about 75% of the article. There has always been too much recentism bias there. Deletion of some of that would be an improvement, though I'm not volunteering. First Light (talk) 02:25, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
- Why speedily? This GAR has been requested for well over a year. Anyway I will keep this open for at least a week to make sure everyone and project notified gets a chance to look at it. All delisting will do is remove the green dot so there is no rush. There is nothing stopping editors making changes while this is open however. In fact that is half the point of doing this.

- Just showing my impatience at seeing a really shabby article called "good" for the last few years. Obviously there is no need to rush. First Light (talk) 15:41, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

- Delisting Pretty clear that it does not meet our standards. I am also going to be bold and stub down the health stuff as part of this discussion. AIRcorn (talk) 01:31, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
