Proposed deletion of Glavering

The article Glavering has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NEOLOGISM

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Falcon8765 (talk) 06:07, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Promotion

Misplaced Pages is not here to promote a commercial product. Independent sources are required, not patent applications or EPA memos. Vsmith (talk) 00:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:33, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

re: Wp:medrs

Hi Ryan. Unfortunately I can't really help you resolve the issue, since as a Wikimedia Foundation staff member I cannot and do not resolve content disputes. Please continue to engage with the other contributors to the page, and on the Talk page of the article. Thanks, Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 20:50, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Ryan, I don't think that you have properly read WP:MEDRS, it requires a higher level of sourcing than required for other articles. To quote "Ideal sources for biomedical material include general or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published sources, such as reputable medical journals, widely recognised standard textbooks written by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from nationally or internationally recognised expert bodies". You are entirely wrong in thinking that an FDA 'clearance' for a product is some sort of 'position statement' - this statement from the NCCAM however is.

I have removed some material from an edit you placed at User talk:Vsmith under the heading "merry x-mas 2", which I considered to be a personal attack. Please read WP:CIVIL regarding one of our Five Pillars and note that "Personal attacks and harassment are... damaging to the work of building an encyclopedia, and may result in blocks." A merry xmas to you too. Ben MacDui 20:27, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

• I am here regarding that same edit. Continue making personal attacks, and I will block you. KillerChihuahua 20:36, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
