I disagree that WP:MEDRS compliance ins't required by GA criteria. An article must be "stable" for GA and FA. In plants articles, one of the biggest battles had by plant editors is the attempt by editors to assert false health claims in articles, often to advertise products, but also just by editors overly devoted to  using Wikipedia to promote non-mainstream medicine; this then leads to edit wars, blocks, etc. MEDRS helps to prevent this by requiring that health claims have a very specific type of sourcing. If this is not met by this article, the article will not be stable. (  )
