[edit] Orthodontic jaw wiring

Orthodontic jaw wiring (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Completing malformed nom. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 20:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Original nom's comments: "This article appears to be an ad for Dr. Ted's dental services. It only gives two reference-links, both to pages within DRTED.COM, which is Dr. Ted's own website. And the article was originally created by someone with the id of "Dr. Ted Rothstein". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rb999 (talk • contribs)
  • Weak keep, the procedure (horrid as it is) does exists and has some modicum of notability, but the spamminess needs to be savagely excised from the article (which I'm going to do now). -- Coren (talk) 21:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, researching sources to despam the article allowed me to figure out that any surface notability appears to be little more than advertisements, search engine spamming or self-published sources. -- Coren (talk) 21:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Redirect to orthodontics. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 06:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • That's actually probably not a good idea. What little info I could find on the procedure that wasn't spammy was dentistry associations advising their members to not perform it because it "is not a dentistry procedure". — Coren (talk) 16:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment: As far as I understand, this is not an orthodontic procedure, but is rather related to getting slimmer. Dan Gluck 13:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep An existing procedure (unfortunatly) of which I have heard few times in the past in TV programs, making it notable since I'm really not interested in the subject. Dan Gluck 13:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
