lacks significant coverage in reliable 3rd party references RadioFan (talk) 19:59, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Qigong, deleting references to "Qigongology" which is a neologism, call the section "scientific study of Qigong". Drawn Some (talk) 20:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I wouldn't have a problem with this as an outcome. Any other opinions.--RadioFan (talk) 20:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I am finding some coverage of this term:  Yes, someone coined it as a neologism, but the term appears to have been picked up in reputable sources.  I'm inclined to Keep but my mind is not made up and I very open to more discussion.  Cazort (talk) 01:15, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if the were a semi-legitimate term, the content should be merged with Qigong, if it not there already. The rest explaining the term "Qigonology" should be deleted as per WP:NAD. Passportguy (talk) 08:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I am starting to lean towards agreeing with you. I am changing my recommendation to Merge to Qigong and mention that this term has been used to refer to the scientific study of Qigong.  But I do find far more articles studying Qigong from a scientific perspective, and not using this term, than I find articles using it.  Cazort (talk) 13:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, create redirect. Nothing here to merge, the sources are not reliable, imo (eg. written by students)
 * Merge whatever is useful and redirect. JFW | T@lk  10:17, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Qigong. No content worth merging, but the title is vaguely plausible as a search term. - 2/0 (formerly Eldereft) (cont.) 20:14, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
