Oscillococcinum edit

At Talk:Muscovy duck the consensus seems to be to remove all mention of this homeopathic preparation. I think we should do the same here. jps (talk) 12:57, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

No objection from me. I'd already diluted it, but was reverted. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:14, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Diluted to minute quantities, which is still too much ;)
The sourcing requirements of WP:ONEWAY apply here just as in the article Muscovy duck, so as it stands it now, it has to go. Paul Offit's little piece could probably used as an enrichment for Oscillococcinum. –Austronesier (talk) 14:31, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, delete it. Homeopaths dilute everything they can grab and some things the cannot grab: Sunlight, black holes and so on. We should never mention in an article about X that homeopaths dilute it. --Hob Gadling (talk) 16:31, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Never? That's not what WP:ONEWAY says. The provision is that independent reliable sources about X mention it "in a serious and prominent way". They rarely do for obvious reasons, so don't worry anyway. :)–Austronesier (talk) 16:38, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
