Appears to be original research as per WP:OR and "we identified", :we educated", etc. Rarkenin (talk) 13:09, 11 December 2012 (UTC) Rarkenin (talk) 13:09, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this is my first article. I am authorized by Dr. Yong Zhao to create and edit this article. I just changed the Text according to your proposal. Leo181 (talk) 13:41, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - it clearly isn't WP:OR in the sense that there are published papers on the subject. The good-faith editor has a conflict of interest (which shouldn't matter). The work appears to have been widely reported, I'll look out some citations. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:01, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - have added 5 more news and journal citations, an "Applications" section to describe what the device is for (curing autoimmune diseases), and redrafted the lead. This is a really exciting development, never seen anything like it at AfD before. It has been properly researched (collab. China/USA) and internationally reported (Canada, Australia...).

• Keep - have made further fixes. While apparent COI is cause for caution, it can be dealt with. An important development. Should find wp:MEDRS sources though, rather than mass media. LeadSongDog come howl! 18:08, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:HEY with the fixes made. Bearian (talk) 22:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - as I am informed Dr. Zhao has treated more than 150 autoimmune patients so far in Spain and China (Why not in the US ?). Successful studies of incurable diseases (as this one is) usually do not stop recruiting participants. Thanks for your support. Leo181 (talk) 13:00, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
