Death was a Natural sciences good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
makes no sense to put abortion here since a foetus is never alive. Something which isn't alive cannot die. 148.252.146.55 (talk) 05:59, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is probably acceptable; most would argue that the fetus is, biologically, alive, but in the sense of death as it’s usually put an abortion might not qualify as the “death” of a conscious being. More discussion necessary. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 18:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
probably need to elaborate on different arguments on the definition of (alive and) death in the article in order to decide this?
while i do agree that a foetus is (culturally seens as) never alive, the answer to the question seems more to be on the philosophical instead of practical/empirical side of things. irisChronomia (talk) 14:56, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
...was previously "Irreversible cessation of an organism's biological functions". I personally find this description to be more mild and neutral, (albeit quite terse,) and prefer this version of it. Maybe we can put this sentence somewhere down in the main article or put the current description into the Simple English Wikipedia? irisChronomia (talk) 14:48, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly written article
There are a lot of issues with this article, especially when you get to the psychology and the culture and Society pieces. The paragraph structure and grammar is off . It seems like the purpose of the paragraphs is not clear. It seems like the writer is trying to make an argument rather than provide information. And I strongly question the thinly veiled arguments that are being made. It reads like it was written by someone who overestimates their argument, composition, and just general writing skills. It needs to be revised by somebody with a little bit more technical skill in writing, and someone who has a little bit more understanding of those topics and knows how to represent that in an informative writing style. 24.237.159.221 (talk) 13:14, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
