Cymatic therapy

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems to fail basic notability, for instance, a google scholar search for Cymatic therapy has only ten results, eight of which are patents, and thus unusable, and the other two of which only give it a single sentence. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 17:00, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly, this is a form of medical quackery, but describing such quackery seems within the realm of an encyclopedia, and this article seems to do a reasonably fair job of describing it without providing any endorsement.  The ACS feels it is notable enough to put on their web site, it's probably notable enough for us.  -- RoySmith (talk) 17:14, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per RoySmith. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 08:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep (as primary author for this article). I am sympathetic to cleaning out the therapy-cruft that tends to accumulate here, but the ACS and Gale references provided allow us to render an article without the in-universe issues that often plague antiscientific practices. - Eldereft (cont.) 21:05, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination - I'm convinced that this one is alright. Sorry, but as Eldereft says, there does get to be a lot of cruft with insufficient sources to make a good article. This one probably juuuust squeaks by. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 22:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
