- World Herbal Encyclopedia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This book for a pseudoscientific field of alternative medicine (Ayurveda#Classification and efficacy), does not meet WP:NBOOK, there is no significant coverage in sources, I could only find press releases and promotional sources upon looking. This article is also promotional, whitewashes this pseudoscience into Wikipedia and perhaps could be a product of UPE. Zalaraz (talk) 05:34, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

- Here is the Book review by The Times of India: [1]. Bakhtar40 (talk) 06:43, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- That book review does not name a reviewer and it is published by WP:TOI, I read this so called review during my search and it is nothing more than a press release making exceptional claims. Zalaraz (talk) 06:52, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- I have to agree on this. Even the film taskforce doesn’t really recommend using their reviews. This might have been usable if it had a named staff member, but attributing it to the general lifestyle desk does make it fairly suspicious. If I remember correctly, the paper has had an issue with undisclosed paid advertisements and AI generated articles. Paid advertisements aren’t great and typically invalidate a source unless an outlet is very well considered, but undisclosed ones are always going to make an outlet unreliable.

- @ReaderofthePack “Extracted from World Herbal Encyclopedia by Acharya Balkrishna, published under Patanjali Divya Prakashan” is printed at the bottom of that article. I had some suspicions about AI writing and ran the article through GPTzero and it gave me 100% probability of it being AI written [2]. This reflects very badly on both TOI and the book itself.
