I would like to know about "Hereditary Spasmodic Paralysis".

Spam?
There appears to be spam related links on the page. Should I delete them when I see them or could someone tell me the process that I should follow? BruceD270 01:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

articles about physicians?
Where in this list, or elsewhere, does on list a requested article about a particular physician? Michael Hardy (talk) 17:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Emergency Medical Dispatch
I would suggest that this page be created with an immediate jump to Emergency medical dispatcher as this covers everything that would be covered in a proposed Emergency Medical Dispatch page. Frmatt (talk) 04:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Content of this page
Half of the articles requested are not sufficiently significant to warrant their own page. A significant portion of the rest can be redirected to a main page on the topic. This page needs cleaning up... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:42, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay I have rearranged it under heading to give one some indication of what the term is about. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:32, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

An ultrasonic tissue cutting device used in surgery
The closest article I can find is Harmonic scalpel. That article already contains several PubMed references. However, as of today that article is (i) orphaned, (ii) refers to a specific trademark/product from one company, and (iii) lacks details on its operation. There should be a general article on this type of device not tied to a particular manufacturer. This article is important because this device is already widely used.

Reference:

Prozac poop-out
I was editing in another request when I noticed this one had been removed in good faith by an editor that thought it was vandalism. It does have many hits on google. It may be entered as a re-direct to a future section for the proper medical term for it. I will re-enter it now, with a see talk page note added.
 * Corrected the problem. Placed redirect to correct terminology. Thanks for pointing it out. This requests list needs serious clean-up! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:50, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Issue of great importance
Recently, the article Importance was created. However, surprisingly, apparently, no great mind such as Plato nor Nietzsche or Marx - none has ever published on the topic.

So we turn to you, Wikiproject Neurology:

One hears about brain injury leaving people unable to grasp the concept. Does this condition have a name?

Are there published papers in neurology about how we decide what is important? Chrisrus (talk) 19:32, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Requested is better than missing
The word “Missing” indicates a presumption that “whole” is known and looking at what is available (produced / written), “Missing” is arrived. But this is not so in many cases. Even in law, the code usually states as “subject to nothing contrary exists, OR subject to other laws”. Thus, it is not correct to think we can visualize everything about a topic. This is so because, if the articles is read by more and more people OR read by same people again and again at different times due to need for reference in various circumstances, new information may appear to be wanting / deficient  /missing.

Hence it is correct to keep “deficient information” in “Requested Articles”. It is not to correct to elongate the list of “Missing information”. This is so whatever be the Genre or category.

In fact, Wiki may like to consider not to add any more articles to missing list and to consider merging missing list with Requested articles. Moreover, missing info in most cases is nothing but a “Requested Stub or sub page” if not a full length requested article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VS Adiraju (talk • contribs) 23:00, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
