 * Delete – This is a localized version of an article about Sujok: its proper title is Sujok in Iran. It says the practice arrived circa 1960 and gained students who went on to Moscow. It's heavy on praise ("genius doctor") and it's entirely unsupported.
 * While localized articles are the norm for, say a hugely international concept, this subject doesn't fit. The Sujok therapy concept itself is most likely far from that level of notability: previous versions here eventually failed WP:PROD for lack of apparent notability; on fa:سوجوک, it was also deleted about a year ago. Even assuming Sujok is notable, this would require reworking from scratch and a different title: Sujok. JFHJr (㊟) 04:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:N for lack of sources, in the article or that I can find. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:55, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is about a medical practice called "sujok", which does come up with a few hits on google books, but this is just so poorly written (unsourced, opinionated, not even in english) that it would take an astronomical amount of work to properly source and write. It doesn't help that most of the sources I've found are either unreliable, are only brief mentions in books, or are books/sources put out by the people who created sujok. If someone wants to go through the effort of doing this then I'd have no problem with someone userfying this, but this is a lot of work and it'd take a lot of sources to prove notability in English since it keeps getting removed for notability on the Persian Wikipedia.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:06, 30 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79

 * Delete Why doesn't this fall under A2? People attempted to remove it under speedy, then under prod, but both attempts were reversed. IMO it should have been possible to deal with this article without bringing it to AfD, which is a complete waste of everybody's time. --MelanieN (talk) 16:13, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per JFHJr. However to cocoa and Gene MelanieN, please read WP:CSD: it applies only to articles which already exist on another language Wikipedia, which this does not appear to-- Jac 16888 Talk 16:25, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment If it can't be speedy-deleted, I was going to suggest a transWiki to the Farsi Wikipedia. But according to JFHJr, it has been deleted from the Farsi Wikipedia. That probably tells us all we need to know about its notability and confirms that we should delete it too. --MelanieN (talk) 18:14, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong delete: Not even written in English. Can't tell if it's notable or not unless it's written in English.  Also, appears to be recreated of previously deleted (via PROD content), and has unclear notability in its original language  Purpleback  pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  18:00, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
