[edit] Bioelectronics of Vincent

Quoting from the article:

• "There are to date no readily available publications in English that explain BEV"
• "It is nearly impossible to cross-check this information since much of it has not been published in the public domain. What follows is drawn from material that was presented in one of the proprietary training courses offered by the Occidental Institute Research Foundation in the early 1990's."

This is very confusing, frankly, but the above statements make me think that this is original research. If no sources can be cited, we can't really verify the claims of this article. If sources become available, perhaps an encyclopedia article can be written, but WP is not the place to actively write research on a topic. W.marsh 19:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• comment There's quite a lot of material in French available, so hold off voting on this until I've had a chance to sift through it and report back MNewnham 22:50, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I hadn't searched for the french version of the name... still, that doesn't change the original research problems. There will, as is policy, be 5-7 days to get this article to an acceptable form (well, acceptable to other participants in the discussion, not me). --W.marsh 23:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• comment Interesting stuff this:
  • Vincent was a notable water engineer
  • Its all about the principals of linking water quality to health
  • heres the official website (in French)
  • The principles of this have been around since 1948
  • There are books (in French) available from amazon.fr on the subject, so it is clearly not original research
  • It's true, there really isn't anything available in English about this stuff
  • I vote keep, and bring it to the anglophone masses.

• Delete as per nom. Even though there are books available, this can still be original research. To qualify as non-original research, the material would have to have been peer-reviewed. TheRingess 08:46, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep it, don't let these people convince you that only Amerikan sanctioned works are valid, it is published in France and Germany. Shame on you disinformation agents (TheRingess). There is absolutely no doubt that humans function on electrical principals, unfortunately the term 'bio-electronic' does sound silly. I am growing heartily sick of the wikipedia's arrogant tone of writing and subtle censorship. If you didn't rely on donations then I wouldn't care at all how you edited your articles, and I do take it with a grain of salt, God help anyone who thinks wikipedia is authoritative. *update* here seems there is a growing demand for such technology...
