According to the introduction, from 1990 to 2015, pre-term birth deaths fell by nearly 50%. In the eight years since then, it's possible that they've fallen significantly more. As a result, the penultimate introduction sentence (rates of survival per week), which reports data from 2016, may be out of date — if deaths continue to fall, chances of survival per week will necessarily change, so we need something newer. Even if the statistics haven't changed, we ought to use a much newer source to say this. Nyttend (talk) 03:29, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this removal of cited content by Avatar317, no, historical misunderstandings by leading representatives of the cultural traditions of ~40% of the human population are relevant. If there are other articles with similarly relevant content, you should be leaving those alone too. (That said, yeah, of course WP:FRINGE ideas shouldn't be given WP:UNDUE—or sometimes any—mention. This ain't that, though.)

Also, of course, that's just my opinion and you're welcome to do a WP:RFC to see if more editors agree with your take on this particular one. — LlywelynII 20:30, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is UNDUE. My edit summary summarizes my point: "there have been lots of misconceptions regarding every topic in medicine" - there is no reason to list every fringe or idiotic idea humans have had about any topic. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:28, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
