Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yoga for Thyroid Disease
I had a go at the article; trying to imposing some structure, wikify and qualifying some of the claims originally stated as facts. Two issues here as far as citing goes - firstly is it so used by a significant number of people worldwide (whether or not it works), I agree a single self-interested source is poor choice to verify and fails to meet eliable sources criteria (unlike a national newspaper citing numbers for example). Secondly is the issue whether its claims can be verified (again by reliable sources). We have Bloodletting as a historical article on the development of modern medicine, yet it provides no citations to confirm it was of any benefit. So I tend to feel alternative medicine topics are acceptable if notable by usage (rather than speculative wishful thinking claims of a clinic or practitioner), and claims of action need be carefully edited to NPOV unless convincing evidence. This article for now fails to verify that yoga practioners do really try to manage overt thyroid disease, and on this basis I currently vote for delete (unless CAM practioners can rapidly improve on the article
