Orphaned references in Norgestrel

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Norgestrel's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:27, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

What do y'all think, shall we merge Opill???

So.... No other birth control as far as I know has an article seperate from active ingredient. Idk why Opill should be different

Before you cry that its a notable brand, welp Plan B doesn't have a standalone article and I'd say plan B is notable

soooo. can we merge :) Spravato (talk) 23:24, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

Support per nom. Opill is a branded norgestrel product, and a standalone article risks unnecessary content fork and duplication. Merging into Norgestrel would improve coherence, with brand-specific details retained in a dedicated section, consistent with WP:SUMMARYSTYLE and WP:CONTENTFORK. —Lojmze (talk) 01:20, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Weak oppose – There are other brand names of OTC drugs that have their own article such as Advil, Tylenol, and Benadryl. But I am very sympathetic to the point that Opill may not meet notability guidelines. There are other less known drugs, such as Excedrin, that have their own article, however. If a merge does happen, most content should be removed. Some information could be retained in the History or Society and culture section. Slothwizard (talk) 20:18, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
