User template

I think this template, Template:User warning-mentalhealth is misrepresentative of MI's affect on work, and i dont like how it assumes that people living with MI are going to be less productive. I know its only placed on a users own page, but its still weird. anyone else think it should be deleted?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mental health

I know this project's name doesnt include mental health, but its generally agreed that a huge number of those with addiction and recovery issues have a co-occuring disorder, thus the two are always co-addressed. thus, so should this projects focus be co-addressed, to mirror best practices, as most of the articles focussed on 1 area will touch on the other.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:59, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category deletion

The following categories, Category:People self-identifying as alcoholics, and Category:People self-identifying as substance abusers, were deleted last month. I understand the reasoning around BLP, but i disagree. I dont know if this can be discussed in a deletion review, as the deletion process seems to have been followed properly. I created Category:People self-identifying as problem gamblers, which i suppose should also be deleted. should we then delete categories for people with bipolar disorder, or depression, for the same BLP reasons?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 08:38, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
