Xrroid

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

I can find no evidence that this term is in use outside the operations of its originator, William C. Nelson. There is a Quantum Xrroid Consciousness Interface device, variously called QXCI, EPFX, SCIO, which you can buy from places such as MyQuantumWellness.com who charge $21,000. You can read more about Nelson and the QXCI on Quackwatch.

Google Scholar doesn't know the "International Journal of the Medical Science of Homeopathy" which is the first reference. Nearly all its few Ghits are sellers of the QXCI/SCIO device quoting it as a reference.

The second reference is unsigned but is on the website of the "International Medical University of Natural Education" which seems to be run by Nelson (see "Journals of Dr Nelson" featured at top left of its home page).

Conclusion: this is an invented, proprietary term and is not in general use. We shouldn't be publicizing it. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 16:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

delete -a handful of references, but if fans of this theory insist on having an article, I insist on including quotes from the article in WP:RS entitled "How one man's invention is part of a growing worldwide scam that snares the desperately ill." :) Sticky Parkin 19:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment "Medical Science of Homeopathy" is one of the worst oxymorons I've heard in quite a while. Exxolon (talk) 21:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No independent third-party cites to demonstrate notability, since both cites seem to be closely associated with the original source of this idiosyncratic term. Recent press coverage suggests there is probably an article to be written on the life and times of one William C. Nelson, but this isn't it. -- The Anome (talk) 10:17, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Paul B (talk) 11:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, suggest speedy delete, as this definition is so vague as to be almost useless at even identifying the nominal subject: minimal content and no context. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Quantum Xrroid Consciousness Interface was deleted back in April. I think that this is not a G4 (cannot check), but still not notable. - Eldereft (cont.) 22:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
