Opioid epidemic
- ... that opioid-related deaths in the U.S. surpassed 1,300,000 in 2016? Source: [1]
Created by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Timeshifter (talk). Nominated by Zoms101 (talk) at 15:48, 16 November 2018 (UTC).
- That chart says 13 opioid-involved deaths per 100,000. Not 1,300,000 deaths. --Timeshifter (talk) 17:32, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- 16px By my count the article is not new and has not been sufficiently expanded to make it eligible for DYK. The article title in the hook is not bolded. The hook is not supported by the source and is, actually, unbelievable (apparently 2.7MM people die per year [3]; the hook suggests half of them die from opioid OD). The image is too small to be interesting. Because the issues with this nomination are multiple and complex, I feel it needs to be failed rather than held, with no prejudice for its eventual re-submission as a fresh nomination.
