Delete or rewrite?[edit]

I don't know about tamanu oil, so I don't know which should be the case here, but there are really two options for this article. One, the product works as advertised and so the article is off-mission. We don't need an ad for tamanu oil here. Two, this is a bit of altie hype (a good possibility going by the second footnote) and should be rewritten to reflect that. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 14:48, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I vaped it before seeing your comment here. No regret. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 14:52, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
It could make for a good article, though. Even the Altmed section at About.com admits there is "little scientific support" for its efficacy. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 14:55, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
OK. The stub I deleted had the aroma of hype. Rather than restore it, someone could write a narticle more in keeping with the mission... I'm easy, whatever happens. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 14:58, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
