Talk:Boston Medical Group

I've

I've heard a lot of their radio ads with the Andrew character. Does anyone know if he's a client or just a spokesperson?

Probably a spokesperson based on an actual satisfied client. A lot of companies use actors to portray happy customers that write to them, because an actor won't be nervous speaking or appearing on camera. I think that would be the case with a topic as sensitive as this. Nasalo310 (talk) 21:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

He is the official spokesperson for the Boston Medical group and has a website, I would like to add it in the references but am not sure how to do this? There is one third party article written about the BMG that belongs in the references along with Andrews (Spokesperson) official website? How can we add these:

This reference is out of Date and not working: http://moreresults.factiva.com/results/index/index.aspx?ref=NYPO000020041112e0bc0000e

These are the two references that need to be added http://www.goodbyedysfunction.com/boston-medical-group/ and http://www.edguider.com/erectile_dysfunction/what_is_the_boston_medical_group.html

spam removal

I have again removed a good deal of advertising, inserted again after I had removed it the first time. Do not reinsert it without discussion and consensus. The list of what appear to be routine methods of medical care is advertising. Unsupported claims for importance are advertising. Lists of locations belong on the company web site. And a detailed description of their advertisements is most surely the most blatant advertising. As for style, the repeated use of the name indicates a public relations style, not an encyclopedic one. The use of the TM symbol is against our MOS--I left in the fact that the name of the treatment method is trademarked. A patent is claimed--the reference must be provided. We list only the main company site--not the ones in different languages. And most important, this article absolutely needs 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases) showing its importance. Without them, it is likely to be nominated for deletion. I think it may actually be important, so they should be easy to find. Something from accessible professional journals might help, if it talks about the clinic, and is not written by anyone connected with it. For further advice about how to write articles such as this, our Business FAQ. DGG (talk) 18:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

This article had no actual independent information about the BMG. No patent information is availabe that I could find through patent searches in Europe. If one exists, include the title and patent number, etc. The reference to the size and scope of the BMG cited a phrase at the BMG website and was not independently obtained. This article should be considered for removal as it contains less information than a yellow pages ad.AlbertHall (talk) 12:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I do not consider any of the sources added really reliable for notability. We really need 3rd party independent known reliable published sources, such as professional magazines of established notability, or the equivalent. The web sites added are in my opinion borderline. Good enough to stay, not good enough to stop looking for better. DGG (talk) 22:31, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

As a public school teacher, BMG's newspaper ads disgust me. They use underage-appearing girls removing their clothes in their ads entitled, "Sex for Life." Shouldn't ED be treated more seriously than this? WHat exactly are they peddling? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.23.126 (talk) 20:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
