I saw a request under the Psychology topics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Social_sciences/Psychology) for a page on Brainspotting. I wrote up a draft article, but I saw that it was protected the article from creation in 2018 due to recurrent attempts to make the article and recurrent deletions. However, the user who deleted and protected the article is no longer an admin. It seems like past attempts to make the article were not well-sourced. My draft is better-researched. I think that even though there's basically no quality evidence that Brainspotting works, the fact that it is so trendy in certain mental health circles warrants a re-creation of this page. I'm a psychologist who is concerned about the amount of inaccurate information out there about certain treatments, including Brainspotting, and I want the public to have a page to read about it from a source that isn't trying to sell them something.

Like Hobit I'm not a subject expert, but that draft looks to be neutral and have good referencing. There isn't any reason I can see not to approve it. Thryduulf (talk) 00:35, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Publish. Now that multiple editors have seen and have commented on the draft, and as no critical issues were found, it's time to conclude this DRV by moving to mainspace per WP:NOTBURO, as this has already been a more exhaustive process than a single AfC reviewer's review.—Alalch E.12:58, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MC-123 it would have been better if you asked me about this before filing a DRV. For a deletion discussion from 6 years ago, with a new draft written with more reliable sources, it's a no-brainer that it can be recreated. No need to get DRV involved. -- RoySmith(talk)00:48, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith thank you for letting me know. That's what I had in mind as well, but when I requested for my draft to be moved to article status (since the page is protected), I was told to make a case in a DRV that the redirect should be moved. MC-123 (talk) 00:54, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. I see I wrote way back when, I'm not going to protect the page; that can always be done later if it turns out to be necessary when I closed the AfD. And I see that Spartaz added page protection after a second AfD. So, I guess I can see why the folks at AfC might have been hesitant to do anything. In any case, here we are. Let's just see how this plays out. A week isn't going to kill anybody. -- RoySmith(talk)01:24, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
