The result was keep. The additional sources found are sufficient to justify this initially unlikely article. I assume it will be expanded with them, as promised in the discussion. DGG ( talk ) 00:01, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

This is a non-notable bogus medical treatment "referenced" only to a deadlinked-page on a spammy website. Peacock (talk) 17:00, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep but possible rewrite - I reviewed the author's contributions and noticed that they started several useful articles so I believe this is not a hoax. Additionally, Google News received several, although not very useful, [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=Ionithermie&oq=Ionithermie&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i400.44755.44755.0.45037.1.1.0.0.0.0.125.125.0j1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1j2.xtuKSCdm5Tg results]. All of the results are advert-like but they suggest that this indeed exists. Google Books also found [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=Ionithermie&oq=Ionithermie&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i400.44755.44755.0.45037.1.1.0.0.0.0.125.125.0j1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1j2.xtuKSCdm5Tg#hl=en&gl=us&q=Ionithermie&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbm=bks&source=og&sa=N&tab=np&ei=fVlfUOj_O8ztqQHwv4DAAw&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=e1775dc59757cae6&biw=1422&bih=706 several results] including [http://books.google.com/books?id=slz_kuuN-LYC&pg=PA121&lpg=PA121&dq=Ionithermie&source=bl&ots=nxVd49lhQA&sig=YCK-QIWGeCkktUEbBGIDPQ5xu-g&hl=en&sa=X&ei=W1pfUJLsNOOi2AXQsIDgCw&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Ionithermie&f=false this] 2008 book that mentions it was developed 25 years ago (1983) in France.

Weak keep if rewritten to eliminate the promotional tone and add references. There is nothing "medical" about this subject - this is a cosmetic treatment for the dubiously existing problem of "cellulite" - but that's not what determines whether we keep the article; if the subject is notable, we keep it. And it probably is notable. I found credulous but mainstream coverage such as [http://www.vanityfair.com/online/beauty/2011/05/ionithermie-body-melt-at-equinox-yields-immediate-result this] in Vanity Fair, [http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/24749275.html?dids=24749275:24749275&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jan+20%2C+1991&author=Patti+Covello+Pietschmann.&pub=Chicago+Tribune+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=Aw%2C+call+it+a+mud+pack&pqatl=google this] in the Chicago Tribune, and [http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/smgpubs/access/777819371.html?dids=777819371:777819371&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+12%2C+2004&author=TOM+SHIELDS'&pub=Sunday+Herald&desc=Rugby+gets+the+beauty+treatment..TOM+SHIELDS'+SPORTS+DIARY&pqatl=google this] in the Sunday Herald. --MelanieN (talk) 15:34, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
