[edit] Mayonnaise Rubbing

Mayonnaise Rubbing (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No support for this being any sort of wide-spread activity (one edit summary from only contributor says he's only aware of it at one college). The included cites support certain ideas, but not the topic of the page itself...RS for the idea have been promised for several days now meanwhile others have failed to find any.

  • Delete No matter how many references are produced on the health benefits of mayonnaise (yech) they will fail to justify this article. Deranged bulbasaur 04:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't know about the "bachelor/healing" bit, but mayo is mentioned in women's magazines as part of a natural skin care regimen. (It's more commonly used for the hair, though, and it used to be a homemade suntan "bronzer".) Probably best to write off as unsalvageable WP:OR though. --Dhartung | Talk 05:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
    • That use of mayonnaise could be included in the main article. The fact that something is used in a certain way does not necessarily confer notability on the method of use itself. By that rationale, we'd have an article on epsom salt soaking and one on acetomenophen eating. Deranged bulbasaur 05:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Deranged bulbasaur . Greswik 12:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I disagree with everyone above. I have definitely heard of kids doing this on college campuses. I think that the article should be cleaned up and the facts checked, but I think this is a real phenomenon and should be preserved.129.21.37.42 14:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BOLLOCKS. Noting that "I've heard of it" is in no way a persuasive argument or indicative of notability. Otto4711 15:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Wryspy 16:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as nonsense. Eusebeus 17:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • WP:BOLLOCKS. With mayo. Delete Tony Fox (arf!) review? 20:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, and take a close look at the creator's only other article contribution also. Newyorkbrad 22:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge: doesn't look like enough for its own article (never heard of it before the digg.com link to save the article). If anything, perhaps the mayonaise article can include some information on health benefits. RandomStuff 22:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I actually speedy deleted an earlier version. It may or may not qualify as patent nonsense but I see no reason to not view this as pure vandalism. Pascal.Tesson 14:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
