[edit] Aura-Soma
This is an article on a particular kind of energy medicine that is sponsored by a singular company who does not rise to the level of WP:CORP. Wikipedia demands that we be able to cite independent sources, especially when describing non-mainstream ideas. This particular subject is so obscure and has received no outside notice. The only possible sources for it are websites of true believers. This makes the article impossible to write and therefore we need to delete it. ScienceApologist (talk) 20:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

- Delete: Fails notability requirements (WP:N, WP:ORG, etc). The only reliable secondary source is a brief narrative in the local-news section of the BBC from 2005, which doesn't seem enough to build an article around and doesn't seem to rise above the level of "trivial" coverage. The remainder of sources are primary sources and self-published websites affiliated with the subject, which are not the makings of an encyclopedic article. Note that I noticed this AfD through discussion on the fringe theories noticeboard. MastCell Talk 21:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per the others - I searched this at Quackwatch, where it gets nothing but a very passing mention in a list. That rather suggests lack of notability - realistically, it's only been around since the 80s, so lack of coverage in RS is not surprising. Moreschi (talk) 21:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, obscure. Itsmejudith (talk) 09:36, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Fails WP:ORG/WP:CORP and WP:FRINGE. Obscure therapy is non-notable per [1] (no scientific references) and [2]. Wisdom89 (T / C) 02:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete non-notable product of a non-notable organisation. Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC).
