Coherent breathing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This stub article purports that a breathing technique can produce medical benefits. Sources appear to be little more than advertorials for a book, which is the sole source of reference for this topic. None of the sources appear to comply with WP:MEDRS.

 * Reluctant Keep unfortunatly this psuedoscientific dribble has been covered by RS; huffington post, Independent, NY Times, and Forbes. While none of these sources are realiable for medical claims they do make it notable enough to have an article. The article does need some push back on the junk science, but much of that has been removed. -- VViking Talk Edits 21:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Forbes contributors is not WP:RS in general, and for medical topics we'd need WP:MEDRS compliant sources to write a proper article. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:18, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * No MEDRS quality sources, cannot write a NPOV article. I note that the HuffPost and NYT articles just uncritically quote a book published by the rather dubious, non-MEDRS compliant publisher Shambhala Publications, which specializes in "Buddhism, yoga, psychology, philosophy, Eastern studies, self-help". The Independent article appears to be based on a similar book. For now, Redirect to Conscious breathing. I have no opinion on whether the latter article has enough MEDRS sources to be kept. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 22:05, 4 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to the more general article about Conscious breathing, of which it is clearly a instance. Any pseudoscience should be removed. -- The Anome (talk) 14:26, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect I've already replaced the unsourced nonsense at Conscious breathing with the content in here, so merger is basically done. Redirection is valid per WP:ATD-R but per Buidhe, Conscious breathing also needs a look at per MEDRS. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:34, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
