Review section
[edit]I am nominating this featured article for review because of the issues raised by SandyGeorgia on the talk page of this article (particularly the outdated nature of elements of this article). I believe it should be delisted as an FA, as Asperger syndrome now is.
Pinging @SandyGeorgia:, @Wretchskull:, @RexxS:, @Markworthen:, @WhatamIdoing:, @Colin: and @Dodger67:, who took part in that discussion. Bangalamania (talk) 13:34, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Bangalamania, please review the WP:FAR instructions and complete the notification process— particularly the WikiProjects. Also, please provide a link to the talk page discussion and date. This article has not been updated for years, the lead is out of sync with the body, and the entire topic area has been taken over by advocacy. I do not see that the Medicine Project has the resources available anymore to repair this article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:06, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Apologies, I am not used to the process. I have nominated the article and given a link ([2]) to the section talk page as it is now and notified the Medicine and Autism WikiProjects (the latter seems to be inactive). --Bangalamania (talk) 18:23, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Because of the real-world changes to what 'counts' as autism, I think that updating this article would require a significant amount of work. I cannot commit to providing any help for that. I have no objection to delisting it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:18, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I also support delisting the article. Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/his/him] 16:12, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC - significant issues, almost no engagement. Hog Farm Talk 13:53, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]- Issues raised in the review section include currency and neutrality. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:32, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist this highly important article unfortunately would need a lot of work to get it updated enough to meet the criteria. Currently has a cleanup banner at the top of the page (t · c) buidhe 13:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist - Needs significant improvements to meet the standards. It's sad that this critical article fell to the wayside like this. Hog Farm Talk 16:56, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist sad to see this go, but an update is in order if it is to keep the star. Z1720 (talk) 16:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:16, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
