[edit] Hanashi

This article seems to be a hoax. Searching for it on Google with the words 'hanashi' and 'vitamins' only brings up the Wikipedia entry. I don't believe it is possible to write 'hanashi' in Korean, though I know it is a Japanese word, meaning 'talk' or 'stories'. As it is unverified as a factual article as it stands, I believe it should be deleted. Maaya 04:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Being 2,130 years old would make it just plain Korean, not "South Korean" if it were true. Not to mention it contraverts a number of facts about the digestive tract (and which organs are and are not capable of absorbing which nutrients) and makes patently absurd claims (the body stores nutrients in feces, for instance). May in fact be a speedy deletition candidate as patent nonsense, although it's possibly just a borderline case for that. The Literate Engineer 04:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Patent nonsense is very restrictive, but this is still nonsensical enough to be deleted. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:43, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment True, it is restrictive, and does explicitly say it doesn't include hoaxes... but if you stretch "no meaningful content"... The Literate Engineer 16:28, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Unverifiable -- Astrokey44|talk 15:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I am a native Korean and never heard this thing before. --BorgQueen 16:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • But yes, it is possible to write 'hanashi' in Korean. Not that it matters though :-) --BorgQueen 16:17, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Really? I guess you learn something new everyday. I knew it was possible in Japanese, but I know zero Korean, so that didn't really help. -Maaya 00:30, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless verified. Stifle 13:28, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
