Should Palatin Technologies have it's own article? It just redirects here now for some reason, I guess this their closest product to market. Endercase (talk) 18:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC) Reply

I kind of doubt whether they are really notable enough to have their own article. but if somebody wants to try, they can find out. Jytdog (talk) 20:10, 6 April 2017 (UTC) Reply

• 25% of those who took bremelanotide saw some improvements in their reported sexual desire scores, compared with 17% who took a placebo.

(25-17=8%, so could this medicine be replaced by placebo?)

• Women should not take more than one dose of bremelanotide within a 24-hour period or more than 8 doses per MONTH.

(What if the partner wishes to have sex daily, not 8 times a month?)

Could an uninvolved editor please review whether the following link would be appropriate for an "Other sources" or "External links" section in this article, if such a section is considered suitable under WP:EL and WP:ELNO?

Proposed link:

• Peptides.io PT-141 guide – plain-language overview of PT-141/bremelanotide, including general background, mechanism, FDA-approved use context, off-label-use disclaimer, and safety notes

I am asking here rather than adding it directly because bremelanotide is a medical/pharmacology topic, and I want to avoid adding anything that editors may consider promotional, non-neutral, or unsuitable as an external link. If editors feel this link is not appropriate for the article, I am fine with leaving it out.

For transparency, I am connected to Peptides.io, so I am requesting review by uninvolved editors rather than making the article edit myself, in line with WP:COI.

Not appropriate. That is a commercial website. Constant314 (talk) 20:02, 13 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

When I clicked on it, it was a dead link. So it's a no go, all around. Spintendo 21:49, 27 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

The link actually works. Can you kindly check again? Andrei25luks (talk) 07:44, 30 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi Andrei! Thank you for taking the time to read the policies and go through the proper process.

Unfortunately I have to agree with Constant314 that it would not be appropriate. While short plaintext guides are definitely important for patients and consumers, in my opinion they’re not the kind of pages that make sense to include as an external link. Any important information that they contain that is missing from the article should instead be added to the article itself, and that information should use references to sources that are considered "reliable" based on the relatively strict guidelines set out here: WP:Identifying reliable sources (medicine).
