message: The sources I see, while valuable, don't seem to be scientific. The text of the page and the Table in particular look like they were written by www.cowurine.com itself. --Hawkian, 66.229.227.106 (talk) 01:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm.  The article does need work.  (I have no idea what "used in Yajur Veda for Ark as a medicine" even means)  I wouldn't say it's unsourced or particularly POV (apart from referring the RSS as "India's leading Hindu cultural group" - but then that's a copy-vio from the original source (The Telegraph).  Makes me wonder about the rest of the paragraph).  I think the complaint you might be looking for is something like globalise.  I'm going to have a little look to see if there's more that can be said about cow urine outside of an exclusively Hindu context.  There's probably a fair bit of mileage in cow urine as a fertiliser.  There's also this report of it being used as a component of traditional Yoruba medicine. Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 11:46, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

message: You cna't use in vitro research to make confident claims about in vivo effect, you MUST not overstate the journal's findings, and the unsourced list at the end that basically included anything found in cow urine combind with any positive effects of it - real or specuulated- at any dose - was complete WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. I've cut this down a lot, and even now, it's still an AWFUL  article. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:16, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Right 

message: Proposal to merge this article to Cowpathy. Duplicate info is contained at cowpathy on exactly the same subject with considerable overlap to this article. Cowpathy is actually the broader topic that Cow urine is a subset of. Cowpathy contains background material and context necessary for readers to understand that the subject is not just "any old cow urine", but cow urine as it relates to Ayurveda, Hindu beliefs and Indian society.
:::This article desperately needs context. I support Moreschi's suggestion of moving it to "Cow urine (Ayurveda)" or even a couple of paragraphs in the "Treatments" section of the main Ayurveda article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 00:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed that there may not be enough information to justify a stand alone article now and merging to a larger article may be for the best. Yobol (talk) 00:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Also we might consider Cowpathy as a target article for merging content to. - LuckyLouie (talk) 01:32, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: To better determine the answers to these questions and invite a wider audience why not list this article at AfD? Or at least open a formal merge discussion? Dr.K. λogosπraxis 02:06, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't see any problem. The article merely reports the cancer-cure claims made by proponents, it doesn't endorse them. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:05, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  the interesting thing is that there are claims and claims only ! and no poofs! may be the hallmark of this article. -Abhijeet Safai 05:40, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
