Chemical cosh

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This is merely a dicdef for a rarely used slang term, with an example or two of use. It can never be expanded with meaningful content that does not more appropriately belong in the existing article on Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder controversies. bd2412 T 15:45, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Soft-redirect to Wiktionary. There are a ton a googlenews and googlescholar results, which I wasn't expecting. Phrase seem to cover: medicating children in schools, and medicating troublesome seniors with dementia, and medicating psychotic behavior in anyone. (I'd guessed when I saw the AfD title, that it was going to be related to sedating the crazy people on bath salts, but apparently not). Still not a notable term by itself though. Hence soft-redirect suggested. —Quiddity (talk) 07:34, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above It's a commonly-used term for a sedative used in certain circumstances, but it's still only a dictionary definition. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:53, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect as a POV term. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:46, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
