Delete I agree. Judging from Google Scholar, it may also be violating COI. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 19:47, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable, promotional, OR, and COI inspired. -- Brangifer (talk) 20:06, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable. Appears to be one scientist's work that is being blown up here as WP:PROMO. Most of the article is WP:SYN and WP:CRYSTALBALL. Jytdog (talk) 21:17, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your advice. It is my first time to write a wikipedia, I am still learning to be objective and unbiased. I write this wiki page because almost everyone knows TCM in China, but it is lack recognized in US (I am now studying in Boston). So I think the page should not be deleted speedily, but we can improve it together and contribute to human knowledge. (PS: To get more information, an article on wall street journal introduced TCM (in the external link). There are also reference papers related.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shikang Liu (talk • contribs) 22:46, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shikang Liu a couple of things. First this is not a speedy deletion discussion, but rather, a standard deletion discussion. It will run awhile, and then someone will review all the !votes and decide what to do. Secondly, the article is not about Traditional Chinese Medicine (we already have an article on that) but rather is a mash-up between very contemporary ideas about network analysis, the "holistic" ideas of many traditional medicines, and the messiness of natural product pharmacology. I see how the mashup makes sense, but there is very little literature on it; i think the subject of the article is too new to have a Wikipedia article. And the writing of the article itself is a lot of synthesis, which we don't do here. Jytdog (talk) 23:13, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jytdog Thanks. I see.Shikang Liu(User talk:Shikang Liu) 03:02, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jytdog, that's a very good, and sympathetic, analysis. Some day this might gain enough traction to become notable enough for an article here, but I don't think that day has arrived. -- Brangifer (talk) 04:46, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because what sourced material there is in the article could go into existing articles, although it is not clear that even the sourced material is useful.Desoto10 (talk) 01:06, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Lacks notability. Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 03:26, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is merely an extension of the term traditional Chinese medicine and I suspect that it does not contribute to human knowledge in any sense. Other than that the title capitalisation is awkward and wrong. Chhandama (talk) 10:29, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
