Medical yoga

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article has been tagged as advertising, unnotable and unreferenced for 6 years. Violates WP:CORP standards and includes commercial pseudoscience that is not medical. There are thousands of blends of hatha yoga. The notability of this one is not established. &#2384; Metta Bubble puff  03:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unreferenced failure of WP:V. The topic may be notable - I see some articles/books about this - but this page deserves WP:TNT due to WP:V failure. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:37, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Seems to me it's hard to establish what exactly the phrase "medical yoga" refers to. In my searches I find it's being used to refer to all manner of research but in each case it's something quite different. The article doesn't represent this dispersion of usage and it doesn't appear to actually be an umbrella term at all when I dig deeper. Rather it's an approximation phrase to give context to the research being done. The article seems to be more tended by someone wanting to advertise their particular commercial activity in medicine and yoga. &#2384; Metta Bubble puff  08:32, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Since the creation of the article in 2010 it has only contained pseudoscience, unverified claims or advertising. Drchriswilliams (talk) 08:04, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Yoga as exercise as the better article on this topic. I have to agree the current article is largely promotional and unverifiable. But there has been research done on the therapeutic benefits of yoga from an exercise POV and Yoga as exercise is a fairly well-referenced, start-class article on the subject. Medical yoga is a plausible search term, so I think a redirect is warranted. --Mark viking (talk) 08:59, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unverifiable pseudoscientific advertising. There may be a possibility of a neutral article, but right now, there is no salvageable material. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録  12:58, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
