Why was the 'scientific discussion' section removed? edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago6 comments2 people in discussion

The reason given was that it's "woo", except that none of it is. The section, besides being absolutely relevant to the topic, cites sources nobody so far has complained about. So is there now a problem with the sources? If so, what? Because removing a whole chunk of the article and then citing "woo" as the reason is hardly something I can have good faith in. déhanchements (talk) 06:26, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Any sources here would need to be WP:MEDRS. Alexbrn (talk) 06:47, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

What does this page have to do with medicine? Are https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3612090/ and https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0058244 not reliable sources? déhanchements (talk) 19:32, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Descriptions of biophysical phenomena are WP:Biomedical information, which is why you are producing medical journals. Any such source must be WP:MEDRS. Alexbrn (talk) 20:00, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wouldn't https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2002/04/meditation-dramatically-changes-body-temperatures/, which was in the section, be a secondary source by the definition laid out in WP:MEDRS? déhanchements (talk) 02:46, 21 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

No. We need something like a review article or statement from a major medical body. Alexbrn (talk) 03:22, 21 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
