Strong Keep because each contentious section leads to a child article where emotionality and cutting edge, but not yet strongly enough peer reviewed and replicated can be effectively presented. This is the type of article that attracts emotionally charged readers, for these are THEIR children and diagnoses that have impacted too close to deal with an unemotional NPOV article. The daughter articles (linked at the TOP of each section) allows those who need more, who need more sources of optimism and hope, who need more positive spin. This gives them those platforms that will keep a well-written encyclopedic quality article from being destroyed again by quotes, research results and "facts" that cannot be verified by those who have been struggling with the rewrite. Even one critic, personally acquainted with an important researcher has not been able to obtain a loaned text, a single photostat of any article, not a single citation, not a single reference to any text that must be available at a nearby medical school. And some who reverted many edits would not seem to add a single novel edit that corrected any of the many original errors.

- In terms of Misplaced Pages, "sources of optimism and hope" and "more positive spin" would constitute clear WP:POV, and should definitely disqualify an article from featured article status. - Zeraeph 02:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
