Remedial massage

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacks any reliable sources, fails to establish notability. Moreover, it contains medical information with zero WP:MEDRS. Someone suggested merging with medical massage back in 2014 but that article suffers most of the same problems as this one. Doing my due diligence, I did search the term "remedial massage" but most sources are not reliable and it seems to be related to "alternative medicine". WP:NUKEANDPAVE and if there's anything notable this, it can be recreated with decent sources.

 * I am tentatively in favor of deleting this article, unless someone can show me sources that substantiate the assertions made in this article. It is entirely unsupported by reliable sources and it seems to be a magnet for editors who fill it with promotional language. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 21:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: At least within Australia, the term Remedial Massage has meaning, and there are two national vocational Diploma-level qualifications, http://training.gov.au/Training/Details/HLT52015 and http://training.gov.au/Training/Details/HLT52115. There are a number of [text]books using the term (This RS contains comprehensive and clear information). There's also been instances of brothels using the term as cover. (I'd be a little uncomfortable with a redirect to "Medical Massage", with Australian standards for medical claims and all)  undefinedHydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)  06:20, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge with Medical massage, as suggested in the article. There seems to be some legitimacy to the term, but not enough to prop up an article like this. Tpdwkouaa (talk) 04:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
