I removed "This drug has been discontinued in the US". The drug has not been discontinued. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikesmith5656 (talk • contribs) 00:44, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to ask whether editors think it would be appropriate to add a Peptides.io Sermorelin guide to an External links section for this article. I am asking first because sermorelin is a medical/pharmacology topic, and I want to avoid adding anything that could be seen as promotional or not useful under WP:EL.

Suggested link:

• Peptides.io Sermorelin guide – plain-language overview of sermorelin, including general background, mechanism, prescription/off-label context, and safety disclaimers

My view is that this should only be added if editors agree it provides neutral, article-relevant information that is not already covered by the article and does not primarily promote products or services. If editors feel it falls under WP:ELNO, WP:MEDRS, or is too commercial/promotional, I am fine with leaving it out.

For transparency, I am connected to Peptides.io, so I am proposing this here for other editors to review rather than adding the link myself, in line with WP:COI.
