This article is very unbalanced, and we don't really need an article with this title, given that we have other and better articles that cover essentially the same ground, notably scientific misconduct. This article as written cherry-picks every possible criticism of scientific methodology, mostly using primary sources, without any attempt at context. A redirect to bad science (a DAB page) would also be a viable solution. Note that the problems with this article have been discussed on its talk page and at WT:MED#Bad science methods.

  • Delete - per OP. The article is rant that presents problems that are very real, but completely out of context. The most negative views that can be found in the literature are cherrypicked for inclusion in violation of WP:NPOV. While one could argue for attempting to edit this into some semblance of a reasonable article, I don't see it as salvagable, as "what is good is not new, and what is new is not good".
