Criticisms of Medication

Imo this is an essay. TheLongTone (talk) 13:57, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTESSAY Exemplo347 (talk) 00:55, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep for now Merge per Waters.Justin. There is room for a balanced, encyclopedic article on criticism of western medicine. This isn't it, at least not yet, but there is good, cited content here, it just needs to be purged of editorial tone and unsupported synthesis. — swpb T 17:59, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge into Pharmaceutical_drug. I agree the article is written in an WP:NOTESSAY manner, but the subject of the article is still notable. The problem is that a size or topic split is not justified, so I think the content should be merged into Pharmaceutical drug. See WP:SPLIT. Waters.Justin (talk) 01:08, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Only a single source (the review by Klarić et al.) appears to meet MEDRS. The one other non-news source appears to be primary, and not a review. So, there's nothing in this essay worth merging, because it would have to nearly all be immediately replaced or removed for failing MEDRS. Keeping is pretty much out of the question per WP:CRITS.

 * Delete. Poorly sourced POV axegrinding laced with OR. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.   (talk) 19:08, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - content fork, we have articles on all these topics. Blythwood (talk) 11:57, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
