The result was Speedy delete (G11). Article states that hydroxagen is not a substance, but rather the trade name for a plant extract used in dietary supplements, notably Hydroxycut. The scientific content is zero, it is pure spam. Physchim62 (talk) 16:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hydroxagen

Unsourced article about some chemical compound that was tagged speedy delete as spam, doesn't smell as spammy as all that but it also doesn't seem notable either without any sourcing Carlossuarez46 18:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep or Merge into Hydroxycut. Its one of the main (or the main) ingredient in Hydroxycut. Pretty spammy as written, but I think this could be cleaned up, and survive as a real article, or at least as a component of Hydroxycut. Hiberniantears 19:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Hydroxagen is not a chemical compound. It is a made-up name given to a commercial product. The science described in the article has (at best!) a tenuous connection to the ingredients in this product. This article is nothing but a deceptive attempt to give legitimacy to the kind of "miracle weight loss" products that are little more than scams. Deli nk 20:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge into Hydroxycitric acid. According to this link, Hydroxagen is just a marketing word for Hydroxycitric Acid. Kevin 20:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete spammish fluff. Its presence interferes with the evolution of a real article, if one were to evolve.--Smokefoot 22:09, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
