Whole-body air displacement plethysmography

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is not an encyclopedic entry, but ultimately an advertisement for a commercial product. ViperSnake151  Talk  00:53, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - the article describes a properly-cited clinical technique with multiple reliable sources. It is therefore notable regardless of the apparent COI of the article's author and the fact that the two models of equipment mentioned are made by the same company. Clearly this feels somewhat uncomfortable but the topic is encyclopedic nonetheless. Someone did give the author a COI notice a year after he wrote the article; and as it happens he did contribute to related topics (not products) as well. I can't say I like it much but it's within the rules. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:02, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Quite a few hits on Google Scholar, including reviews. I do confess that I searched for air displacement plethysmography, which IMO should be the title; the interwiki links also don't use the "whole-body" prefix or tranlations thereof. So perhaps also a move to Air displacement plethysmography? - HyperGaruda (talk) 18:03, 6 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Sounds sensible. We can keep the "whole-body" bit as a redirect to the shorter title after this AfD. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:34, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
