  • Oppose. Lacks references. KingTT 02:40, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Support Sufficient references, I think. There's a reference to a book on the history of the discovery, some links to various historical sites, and so on. This is not a topic about which controvery demands copious references. It's pretty well settled what the substance is, how it's produced, and what it does; little dispute there. This stuff is important enought that it has earned 3 Nobel Prizes for scientists studying it. ww 07:42, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Object. Let me be slightly more detailed than those above. Put references in a "References" section, as per FA requirements. Make sure there are sufficient references. The reason references are required, even in non-disputable articles, is due to the fact that ANYONE can edit this encyclopedia. If we don't prove that what we say is true, how can anyone be sure that they aren't reading, for example, sneaky vandalism? We need to be verifiable in every aspect.

  • Oppose. Unreferenced, even the easy-to-find ones (such as the Banting-Best paper cited in diabetes mellitus). It makes no use of the subarticles intensive insulinotherapy, conventional insulinotherapy, could use a microscopic image of the islets, etc. JFW | T@lk 16:22, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Reluctant oppose. Good-looking article, it just needs a bibliography. PedanticallySpeaking 16:51, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. Article incorrectly suggests insulin therapy is limited to humans. Article also needs at least short systematic discussion of the various types of insulin formulations (e.g., NPH, Lente, ultralente). Monicasdude 04:24, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
