Orthotropics®

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As well as being a mess of an article which appears as nothing more than an advertisement, subject does not appear to be notable. Sam Walton (talk) 11:17, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neither the article nor Google offers evidence of notability. Maproom (talk) 11:34, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete This is an ad and appears written by the founder. Frmorrison (talk) 11:39, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Improve writing style. But sources show that “Orthotropics” validly exists. Bus stop (talk) 11:43, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Which sources? Sam Walton (talk) 11:47, 22 July 2014 (UTC)


 * "What if in the process of straightening teeth orthodontists are actually damaging your face? It's a claim which has long been made by English orthodontist John Mews, and for those claims he's been labelled a 'maverick' by others in the industry. But now there are general dentists in New Zealand supporting him and offering his alternative treatment called orthotropics. Those who offer the method claim they too are being ostracised by an outdated industry who aren't making patients aware there are other options than braces to straighten teeth."

 * Comment The article is obviously an advert and undue in title and style. Further it appears to have very little encyclopedic content, and the fact that something "exists" is not relevant for WP:GNG. Can anyone find independed secondary sources that demonstrate notability?
