Prepared drug in pieces

[edit]

This article doesn't really make a whole lot of sense unfortunately, and seems to list things more than actually explain what it is. The source cannot be viewed without logging into that site, and it appears to be in Chinese. I believe that there is an article on the chinese Wikipedia, but am unsure. The subject also seems to be explained a bit in Chinese herbology. --HAL2008talk 00:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. All ghits are google mirrors, nothing notable to indicate that this should be kept. Giggy _U^CP 00:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete, article is far too hard to read, no idea what it's supposed to even be about. Fails WP:RS, WP:V; almost a G1 (nonsese) speedy candidate. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 01:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nonsense. It looks to me like a very poor attempt at translating the Chinese article. Someguy1221 01:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. per all above. Does any one notice how many other articles are requested on this page? James Luftan ^contribs 01:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The article in Chinese is identical (just a list of medicinal herbs). The author is prolific on Chinese Wikipedia but his English seems below average and I doubt any sense can ever be made out of this list. Even the title looks like a poor translation. --Targeman 01:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problem The article nomination links to the editting of this page rather than the page itself. Nevermind --- It was fixed . James Luftan ^contribs 01:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I couldn't understand anything that was written, when I tried to read more I got a headache. It looks like a really bad translation, done by Google or an automated translator.-Flubeca^Talk 02:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, close to patent nonsense with the hardly comprehendable language, I can't tell what its about either. Homestarmy 04:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, weakly, and without prejudice to re-creation. A Google search on some of the Romanized Chinese words in this ("yinpian" for example) suggests that this is some kind of compound drug from Chinese traditional medicine. As such it may contain all of those several ingredients on the list - or at least, different versions of it may contain them. We have articles on Chinese classic herbal formulas and Chinese patent medicines that may cover the same subject. A better English name for this page needs to be found, obviously. - Smerdis of Tlön 22:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
