This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was article deleted, no content needed merging. Cyrius|✎ 05:46, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
This article was originally redirected by Snowspinner because it was a List rather than an article. Even though User:Snowspinner has no interest in alternative medicine, Snowspinner decided to make it into a stub article. It should be changed back to a redirect, otherwise all the old links will erronously be sent to this new stub. John Gohde
- Redirect to List of miscellaneous topics related to alternative medicine -- John Gohde 20:41, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Oops! I wrote the wrong link the first time around. I aplogize for the confusion. It went from the List of topics on the philosophy of alternative medicine to the present name of List of miscellaneous topics related to alternative medicine because some editors felt that philosophy of alternative medicine was not quite descriptive of the contents of this List. -- John Gohde 13:14, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I would like to remind you that you are voting on what to do with the newly created stub article: Philosophy of alternative medicine.-- John Gohde 13:18, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge with Alternative medicine and redirect there. Why don't you just change the links to point to the right article? Snowspinner 20:43, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Why do these few sentences need to be separate from Alternative medicine? What was planned as the expansion of this article? Alternative medicine, being only 27K bytes in length, still has room, and this is only one paragraph. By the time it is cleaned up and worked into Alternative medicine, it probably mostly evaporates since there isn't much here. I don't see how Philosophy of alternative medicine is at all a reasonable redirect to List of terms and concepts used in alternative medicine. There isn't anything obvious on the list of terms and concepts that relates to "philosophy" of alternative medicine, although I must admit I don't have a clue what "philosophy" of alternative medicine might be. Neither does anyone else, apparently, since the article is still a stub. Right now, I am having a hard time seeing why this article should not just be deleted. --BM 22:39, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- This wasn't an article previously, it was a list that was eventually merged into another list. I say merge and redirect. -Sean Curtin 02:40, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
- It hasn't been merged into another list, actually. It's just been moved around a couple of dozen times. I think, right now, it's at List of miscellaneous topics related to alternative medicine. So you should specify, what exactly did you want to redirect to? That list, John's list, Alternative medicine or what? Snowspinner 03:16, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

- Merge anything useable to Alternative medicine, no redirect. Megan1967 06:36, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and Delete, we could end up with a zillion "philosphy of..." redirects. Later ther ecould be cause for a seperate article as the main one grows. Rich Farmbrough 16:20, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with Alternative medicine and Delete. And fix all of the articles that link to it. Paul August ☎ 16:59, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
