Mercola

Mercola is the exact opposite of a reliable source, so I removed the primary-sourced material based on mercola, all of whihc was added by WP:SPA user Tublave (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Guy (Help!) 16:39, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

@JzG: Please explain in more detail your problem with these sources. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:56, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
Have you read the article on Joseph Mercola? This article included a bunch of content discussing Mercola's credulous promotion of Root, sourced from the primary (and highly unreliable) source, mercola.com. Check out mercola.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:frSpamcheckMER-C X-wikigs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: searchmeta • Domain: domaintoolsAboutUs.com and see how many articles use it as a source. Root is involved in promoting a fraudulent detoxification (alternative medicine) programme run by the cult of Scientology, again, any sources have to be suitably robust, and not blogs, alt-med sites and the like. They should be as close as possible to the WP:MEDRS standard. Guy (Help!) 17:02, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
