Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to be promoting alternative TCM therapies for veterinary medicine without any sources (never mind reliable ones) to back up claims. Not the view of most veterinarians and seems like an example of soapboxing. Bangalamania (talk) 19:50, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * (edit) This fringe practice may have a place on the main traditional Chinese medicine article, with this page as a redirect. --Bangalamania (talk) 19:58, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep based on availability of a fair number of high quality sources . However, would suggest redirecting to traditional Chinese medicine as an interim measure until someone actually does the work and makes use of them. We should not have unsourced articles on medical topics sit in mainspace, even if it's traditional Chinese medicine. Alternatively, draftify until sourced. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:40, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: I haven't accessed a lot of those sources, but a lot of them seem to be focused on Veterinary acupuncture, which already has its article. --Bangalamania (talk) 20:21, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect per above. Reywas92Talk 17:18, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. At first I thought it was a fringe concept, but upon further investigation I added a few reliable source links to the external link section. I still think much or even most of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is poor/bad medicine based on the scientific reviews of this type of medicine, nevertheless TCM and Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine both appear to have a significant followings in China.Knox490 (talk) 06:20, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect or delete this would need a thorough rewrite it's current incarnation is unsalvagable. It is better to nuke this and send it into the fires of Mount Doom. Then if someone wants to recreate they can go through AFC to ensure article is okay. PainProf (talk) 02:25, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
