[edit] Cookie diet

Cookie diet (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Speedy deletion was overturned at deletion review, so article was restored and listed here so you-all can offer your crumbs of wisdom. This is a procedural nomination, I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 06:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - spam, only link is to the promoter's website. No evidence that this is widely accepted. Walton monarchist89 18:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep One contributor found this in deletion review, there's another source within the article and the creator of the diet has published a book on it, which doesn't seem like a vanity publisher either. The book is listed as being published by 'Warner Books', according to the warner books redirect here on WP these are published by a group belonging to the largest publisher in France. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Regardless of the quality of the article I think the mentioned sources and book secure it by themselves. This was just a very quick check, let me look for further sources, this doesn't seem like a clean-cut delete. QuagmireDog 18:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
It's hardly a reliable source for a citation, but this article also points out that the doctor has written several books. Perhaps an article about the subject himself with a mention of the cookie diet underneath? The rest of my search results seemed to be pure PR advertising and blog posts.

  • Keep seems to be a verifiable. Editor does not establish such as well as could be done however. TonyTheTiger 20:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. It looks notable and has links. Unfortunately it's not sourced quite enough, but it gets 63,900 Google hits, which seems like a sufficient number. → JARED (t)  20:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep with Spamerectomy. A suspicious number of single-purpose accounts seem to be interested in touting this, but notable enough, e.g. Good Morning America article [1], etc... The less than glowing reviews from nutritionists quoted in the GMA are not (gasp!) included, so perhaps an intrepid editor will ad them. - Aagtbdfoua 01:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Pardon the Freudian misspelling above. - Aagtbdfoua 01:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Notability is sufficient. Wryspy 19:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above and the DRV. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
