Fingernail image diagnosis

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

Allegedly from ancient Chinese folk medicine but refs are a bit thin. Is it notable? &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 08:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article needs a lot of work and as it is, is very POV. But it's a well known idea. Proxy User (talk) 12:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Is used as spam, see here. The method of diagnosing via fingernails might be noteable, but not under that name (seems proprietery to fidhealth), and it would need a *complete* rewrite. Amalthea (talk) 13:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid concept. Article just needs improvement. Hellno2 (talk) 14:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I want to stress that the article says that  [Fingernail image diagnosis (FID)] is completely different from conventional fingernail diagnostic method - I agreee that the latter warrants an article, but the former is a non noteable spam article: google has one hit besides Wikipedia, so it fails WP:NOTE. Also note that I suspect strong conflict of interest of the author: his username is Wlactcm, the contact e-mail adress given on http://www.fidhealth.com/contact_us is Amalthea (talk) 15:06, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: not notable in medicine, topic doesn't deserve an article under that title, spam, conflict of interest. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. It looks like the !voters are confusing two different concepts. The concept of this article does not reliable sources backing up its claims. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 17:06, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Amalthea et. al. This article makes it pretty clear that it's not referring to the classical Chinese medical technique (which I couldn't find an article on - someone should either write it, or add it as a link on fingernail!), but to a contemporary technique created by Wen-Hua Wang. COI all over the place, and "FID" doesn't appear to be a notable technique (four Google hits on the phrase, two of them from Wikipedia). Zetawoof(&zeta;) 22:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: no reliable sources found after a reasonable search.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WhatamIdoing . Edison (talk) 04:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Apparently it has been speedily deleted, supposedly because the author blanked the page . http://www.fidhealth.com/what_is_fid has consequentally lost the "See more on Wikipedia" part. :| Amalthea (talk) 09:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
