[edit] Voodoo Magick Box

This a) doesn't seem notable, or b) might be a hoax. Either way, don't see why we should have an article about it. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:18, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete I get google hits of people selling these but seems like pseudo-science at best. --Pboyd04 02:36, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's definitely real (although who knows if it works) and there's no rule against pseudo-science on Wikipedia as long as it's presented as such. Snurks T C 03:16, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
To clarify: "Voodoo Magick Box" is a specific product name and the article should probably be moved to a generic title (although I have no clue what that might be) but there's no reason to delete the article, as this seems to be a real and somewhat popular pseudoscientific product.

  • Delete. There is a rule against advertising. Durova 03:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nn and maybe a hoax. -->Newyorktimescrossword 04:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete questionable and reportedly defunct product of no demonstrated importance Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 12:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm not sure whether this is a hoax or a pseudoscientific device. The article cannot stay as it is now, for sure. If it worked, someone would already be making billions out of it. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 20:55, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Please check Cranial electrotherapy stimulation. The article seems very well written, but it has no references. If this "therapy" is as described, then that's the non-advertising article we need. I'd close this one right now, but I'd like others to check what I've just said. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 18:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge the minimal additional content (i.e. the device's frequency) to Cranial electrotherapy stimulation and then Redirect to that page, per Pablo. -Colin Kimbrell 20:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
