[edit] Evolution_Diet
Not notable. No reliable sources. Looks like spam Jefffire 16:08, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. I won't pretend to be disinterested with respect to the article creator's history of apparently self-promotional edits. However, this article appears to be about the creator's own concept, website, and (apparently self-published[1]) book. I think it objectively does not meet the criteria for notability. (This is not to be confused with the better known Paleolithic diet.) Wmahan. 18:19, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, all this user does is delete. If only people like him were wikipedians, there would be no articles or content. Jlangley3007 23:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

- Big Keep The book for this is often in the top 15000 on Amazon and has helped thousands of people. I should know- I work for it. "self-published books usually fail" is an argument for deletion? Are you kidding me?! Jlangley3007 14:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep over 30000 results for "evolution diet" on Google -- that makes it notable according to some of your own criteriaErmorse 02:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - does not appear to meet any reasonable notability requirements - see WP:BK, which quite rightly notes that a "simple Google...is fraught with problems and has been deprecated as a positive notability test". "Evolution Diet" is also a brand of vegan pet food plus other things - a more useful Google, for instance with "+Morse -Amazon" [2] doesn't seem to bring up anything except sales links and various directory entries and placements, without anything useful in establishing independent notability that I could see. Self-publication and self-written articles (as is the case here) do indeed raise the bar on establishing notability (see the "self-publication" and "self-interested creation" sections). Finally, all Keep noms to date have been directly associated with the book. - David Oberst 07:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, this user evidently has some animosity toward the Morses (User_talk:Oberst#Your_goal). His argument is evidently based on emotion Jlangley3007 23:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
