Kerokan

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

Microstub, no information, no references. Creator is a banned sockpuppet. Garyseven (talk) 03:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - It could use some work, but with the laziest of googling I have found minor notability and references. It has been up long enough (since 12/07) that the sock-puppet aspect is moot.  JohnnyMrNinja  03:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - regardless of google - the practice of kerokan is a long standing practice by dukuns and other traditional health workers in Java in Indonesia - and it is a classic practice for curing afflcitcions such as a 'masuk angin' which although alien to non javanese - was and possiby still is a culturally bound syndrome - as for whether it was created by jimbo wales or a sock puppet - it is a notable cultural practice which could stand up to WP:N, WP:V and WP:RS without much trouble if the afd doesnt go through SatuSuro 14:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep or, less ideally, merge into Gua Sha if appropriate. Notable practice, sources for expansion shouldn't be hard to find. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable quack cure - one of many. Can't see what could possibly be added. Perhaps could be mentioned in Dukun or other relevant articles. Davidelit (talk) 02:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - prepared for merge with dukun - could be a good compromise - as to the the nature of the practice - have taken the issue up at the Indonesian Project noticeboard SatuSuro 02:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Gua Sha. Basically just a local name for the same practice. Barfoos (talk) 22:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable (and easily google-source-able) folk psuedomedicine.  is not a rationale for deletion.  Ford MF (talk) 15:30, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
