The result was Nom withdrew the AfD two days ago. Looks like a Keep regardless; renaming can be done WP:BOLDly or through talk-page discussion. The Bushranger One ping only 02:41, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Before coming here, several users have tried to create a sourced article, and an IP proposed it for deletion at
Category:Proposed deletion. I removed the tag, because deletion is likely to be controversial and notified the user at the IP address. This list, which could be a good article, has been edited into
an ugly, messy mush of
POV-pushing and
spam. It includes
unverifiable facts and there are few
reliable citations. It's an extreme example of a bad list. It could potentially be decent, but
this needs to be blown up and started again from scratch.

I strongly disagree that the list should be deleted, while strongly agreeing that it's badly in need of reworking. I'd be willing to work on it, but I'm hesitant to do so if anything I do is going to disappear out from under me in a few days. As for the "Let's start from scratch" argument: The article as is has a decent set of references, which would be a good point of departure for a drastic rewrite. The problem with deleting an article is that nothing from the article is visible again. Further, it makes it tricky to rewrite it, because you have to reinstate the article to do so. May I suggest that the article be kept, but with a (very) strong suggestion that it be rewritten? Waitak ( talk) 20:59, 27 September 2011 (UTC) reply
OI've taken the liberty of trimming everything uncited, or for which no medical claim was made. Not sure about a lot of what remains (single studies used to say a herb CAN treat a disease, really honest?), but at least we now know what's there and potentially usable. 86.182.20.197 ( talk) 22:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)— 86.182.20.197 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
