Capnography

I would like to nominate Capnography for deletion. It appears to be an advert by a quack doctor for his own medical method. I did originally put this up for speedy-delete, but one user objected, so I am submitting it for voting.

Speedy Delete (obviously, as Im the one submitting it) ~~~~ 17:50, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Speedy keep. This is bad-faith nomination by someone who seems to be a reincarnation of banned user Lir. After wrongly placing PoV and Speedy tags on this, he replaced the PoV tag three more times, despite offering no reason; I've since looked up and supplied a link to a search page on the American Society of Anesthesiologists [1]). He has no reason other than a hunch for his reason for the VfD. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:57, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am not Lir, any more than you are a reincarnation of Sitite Lem. ~~~~ 17:15, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh, p.s. I've just noticed your greek is wrong for your name, try iota rather than eta.

In Greek, the eta is pronounced the same way a iota is pronounced. Therefore there is nothing wrong with Mel Etitis' name. Btw, I abstain from voting. Aecis 23:01, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

David Gerard did an IP lookup and decided this is not Lir. He is, however, making a lot of suspect edits. Keep. Rick K 20:23, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

I'm no doctor, but there is a lot of literature that looks pretty legitimate for this term. Seems to be pretty standard practice in anesthesiology. Keep. ESkog 18:02, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Google turns up quite a number of legitimate hits. --khaosworks 17:57, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

Strong speedy keep. This is part of the basic standards on ventilation of the American SOciety of Anesthesiologists. DS1953 20:48, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Strong Speedy Keep highly respectable 34,300 Google hits including legitimate medical and government sites. A book on this subject was published by Cambridge University Press (ISBN 0521540348). If the submitter has reason to believe this medical technique is less than sound, they should let us know why (hopefully backed by some sources). It certainly isn't an advert or non-notable by any stretch of the imagination. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:27, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
