Protandim

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

Delete - this product doesn't appear to be notable and the page seems meant to cover a single study. Irbisgreif (talk) 22:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment While I couldn't care less about the outcome of this Afd, some of the information probably shouldn't go to waste.-- The LegendarySky Attacker 22:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It already cites a news story by a major media group, and there are three journal articles at PubMed : it appears to meet the standard rules for notability quite easily.  I'm not exactly happy that Wikipedia has an article about this product, but we don't hold AltMed stuff to a higher standard than any other product.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Clear keep If there are proper trials and journal articles, it's notable. (This is an encyclopaedia, not a medical textbook.)VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 23:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - If this article was not about a commercial product, I'd be very much on the Keep side, as it is, I wonder if much of this content shouldn't be moved to a page about the active ingredients. Unfortunately, I can't decypher the article enough to work that out. It should also be noted that there are other pages being set up by competing products, see SOD/CAT.  -- Deadly&forall;ssassin  00:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * keep I do not see what being a commercial product has to do with the notability. It is a reason to be careful to not use promotional language. I don't see how to move a complex preparation into articles on individual ingredients. BTW, I've been working on SOD/CAT, which is also notable but needs a good deal of editing.

 * Keep per VsevolodKrolikov. Str8cash (talk) 02:18, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - there are multiple supporting papers on PubMed, and the article seems to meet all the inclusion criteria at WP:GNG. ---kilbad (talk) 15:25, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - The intention of the article is not covering a single study. The single study just happens to be the most meaningful validation that is available at this time. Admittedly, this product needs further validation. However, it represents a meaningful, albeit, controversial new direction in antioxidant therapy. There is some reason to believe that further studies will be done. Results of the human study are also corroborated by a number of studies of animal and in vitro models. The conceptual basis of the product has context and precedence in the field of antioxidant therapy as described in peer-review medical and scientific literature.
