The result was keep. Consensus seems to be coming down in the direction of a weak, sickly keep. Joyous! Noise! 04:11, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

A Russian pseudoscientific device. Reliable sources don't seem to exist and the device doesn't appear notable.

 * Weak keep – Search results in English and Russian are mostly conspiracy theories and promotional materials, but there are also a few neutral sources about the history of the experiments, like . small jars 15:27, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep -- I created this article long time back, because the subject came up in a number of my translation jobs. I prefer to have it on Wikipedia for reference, while adhering to the Wikipedia standards for citations and notability. I'm happy about the contributions from different editors that were made to the article over the years it existed and find it to be a good summary on the subject. Otherwise, I'm happy with any decision. Nazar (talk) 17:42, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Nazar: If you'd like to see the article improved, adding more reliable sources would help a lot. BorgQueen (talk) 18:36, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Not too hawkish on this, but I find the sourcing situation to be rather weak. There's one attempt at a "study" I can find which absolutely drips a Bad Science vibe, and that's about it for serious coverage. (This "biographical sketch" on Kozyrev mentions it but it's more like a MySpace rant - not something you would want to cite.) I don't think there's sufficient stuff for an article here. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I added sources to a patent for the mirror along with a source to a book that focuses on the mirror, and discusses experiments with humans done with the mirror in detail. Humanimus (talk) 06:22, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
