Haptic medicine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There appears to be only one reasonable source for this, making clear this is a novel concept. It therefore lacks coverage in RS (let alone WP:MEDRS) and so sourcing is insufficient for it to pass WP:GNG. Alexbrn (talk) 09:16, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete (wasn't this sort of nonsense thoroughly debunked by a paper published by a child?) This article, per Alex, lacks RS and fails GNG. -Roxy the non edible dog™ (resonate) 09:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable alt-med fluff. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:12, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Although there are numerous sources on the general topic of touch-based therapy a search shows that the term "haptic medicine" was coined by Cindy Mason at Stanford and is used by no one else. The article contains numerous references but only the one to Mason and Mason discusses "haptic medicine" per se. The conclusion thus is clear: delete per WP:NEOLOGISM.
