Appraisal
Added "citation needed" to sentence "However, the Foundation's failure to accept the role of psychosocial elements, such as poverty and trauma, in the etiology of mental illness, has resulted in its work being of little more than historical importance[citation needed]." Should the entire section entitled "Menninger Reputation" be moved to the talk page unless or until justified by citations? I believe that would be consistent with the page's warnings, but I leave this for more experienced editors to decide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MidwestGeek (talk • contribs) 17:20, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

- This might be shallow, but can it be mentioned that the Menninger's attracted some fairly famous patients? For example Gene Tierney, Robert Hudson Walker, and Jack Williamson?--T. Anthony 15:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Although Menninger Clinic has attained status, the reality is that it is notorious for long and expensive lengths of stay at a level of care frequently more intense than medically necessary. The current article fails to clarify the financial structure of this facility other than using the word, 'Foundation'. How the income from this facility is disbursed might be of interest to those seeking cost-effective treatment options. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:93F1:4970:449C:AB22:F208:8D97 (talk) 23:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Merge proposal: W. Walter Menninger to Menninger Foundation
W. Walter Menninger doesn't seem to be independently notable - but could be a useful mention in here. Boleyn (talk) 21:58, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose at this point, proposing a merger on notability would be the same as declaring a PROD or AFD. But without the PROD or AFD. I say we stick to procedure.--Paul McDonald (talk) 05:03, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
