"Not approved" versus "unapproved"Done
The article uses "not approved for human use" throughout. "Unapproved" is shorter and is the term some regulators use. Should we standardise on it? — StyleSheetSybil (talk) 09:47, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
No. "Unapproved" reads as a status a product has, which invites the idea that approval is pending. "Not approved" states a fact about the present. The longer form is worth the four characters. — ShortageShona (talk) 13:29, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
Support, and the same reasoning applies to "not assessed" over "unassessed" in the registration section. ✓ Done — DMF_Dermot (talk) 08:16, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
Done. This thread is closed. Reopening it is fine if new sources appear; please add a new subsection rather than editing the closed discussion.
