Oxanamide[edit]

Crappy article about long-dead drug, only one reference available online, no studies in the last fourty years. Wikipedia is not a medical graveyard. Crimp It! (talk) 20:33, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the one study available online includes some blatantly sexist tripe:

The menopause occurs at a time in the life
of the average woman when her children are grown and have achieved a maximum state of independence of parental guidance and her husband is at the peak of his career and has diluted home interests in favor of those concerned with his business. She finds herself no longer the pivot about which her family has previously functioned. These factors, quite naturally, may lead her to a feeling of insecurity which is enhanced by her interpretation of the menopause as a difficult period which marks the end of her youthful
productivity.

Not the sort of thing that I'd want to see included in a reliable source. Crimp It! (talk) 20:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The citations in the one study available online don't save this article either. MORE research done in the 1940's and 1950's -- yeah that REALLY indicates current notability. Crimp It! (talk) 20:44, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
