[edit] Traditional diet

Merge into Dieting. Says little more than its title. (I am sure I saw an article slightly worse than this discussed on VfD recently - what was its fate?) -- RWH 00:35, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)

• Merge to dieting. GRider\^talk 00:47, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and don't merge. I believe this is a bad definition. Traditional diets are usually contrasted with modern diets, not weight control diets. Kappa 01:25, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I tend to agree with Kappa that this article gives the wrong definition of a traditional diet. Zzyzx11 02:06, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A rather circular dicdef. Trilobite (Talk) 10:36, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Also see 'definition, circular'. Delete. Radiant! 12:51, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I believe RHaworth is referring to Natural hairstyle which also seems to be on its merry way to delete, perhaps even speedy. I also agree with Kappa ... it is not a good definition IMO. HyperZonk^talk 17:03, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Thank you, it was Natural hairstyle that I had in mind. RWH 18:00, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)
• Keep. Deletion doesn't seem entirely necessary; maybe some heavy editing and/or a merge.
  • You're right abou the research: I was in a bit of a hurry at the time and hoped that by giving an incomplete definition, I'd attract improvement. Weaselly, yes, but we all find ways.
• Comment: I'm assuming the above is the originator of the article. Thank you for contributing to wikipedia, and I think we could have an article on this topic, but I don't think you did enough research first. If it gets deleted, maybe you could check out a few more google hits and then submit a new version (with references). Kappa 00:26, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. -Sean Curtin 00:54, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This article should be expanded. I have begun to do so. Burschik 15:25, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (change of vote), expanded to usefulness. Kappa 16:11, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Looks relevant. 66.82.9.54 22:56, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It seems relevant now, I will see if I can add any more.
• Keep. Relevant enough to be encyclopedic. Carrp | Talk 06:42, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
