Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Primo-vascular system
I have done my due diligence and have read the references, papers, and recommended attachments. My opinion on the matter is the following: there is a single "research group" in Korea which is angling for funding in a pathological science fashion, publishing in out-of-the-way, obscure, corrupted, or predatory open-access journals on the subject and having limited mainstream success. They are attempting to get mainstream recognition of the subject, but haven't achieved that. This Korean group attempting to cure cancer with this particular scheme is of dubious ethical standard, but be-that-as-it-may, there is another issue to look at and that is the great white hope of acupuncturists that this is finally evidentiary basis for meridians. Actually, it is not clear to me whether the two groups agree with each other or not, but it is clear that this is alternative medicine at least. According to , our goal in seeking to establish notability is to look for |independent sources that would corroborate the notability of the idea. This is where the subject fails. Depsite their best efforts, the Korean group has not been successful in getting citations outside of the peculiar acupuncturist community. They may yet succeed in convincing some skeptics to look more closely at their peculiar ideas, but until such time, Wikipedia cannot have a |neutral article on the subject in the proper fashion because |reliable, secondary or tertiary sources simply are not extant. We have no |crystal ball, so it could be that in a few years this group or the acupuncturists gets someone independent of them to notice this weird idea and take it seriously. Until such time, Wikipedia is not the place to host content about this as we are ill-equipped to do the subject justice
