[edit] Phentermine pharmacies mastercard

I can't tell if this is original research, ad-spam, or what. Claims that Mastercard has stopped processing charges from online pharmacies, which seems to be partly true, though what it has to do specifically with phentermine is unclear and is it really encyclopedic?

• Delete No verification, poorly written, certainly does not merit an individual article. Craig451 22:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per the multitude of reasons presented above. -- Kicking222 22:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Is there an appropriate article to merge this to? I don't know if we have any articles specifically about Internet pharmacies, although I haven't found anything completely relevant. I think it's at least somewhat noteworthy that someone's trying to shut down sleazy Internet pharmacies, but I don't know if it deserves a separate article. Besides, it needs cleanup and the title is misleading anyway. --Elkman - ^(talk) 23:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Wow, where to begin? I thought from the title that this was going to be an article about a Mastercard issued by some entity called Phentermine Pharmacies. I didn't see any evidence in the DEA press release linked that the DEA is focusing "in particular" on stopping the online sale of phentermine; their press release ([1]) mentions only "amphetamines, anabolic steroids, and narcotics" (although for all I know phentermine may be one of those types of drugs; at any rate, it isn't specifically mentioned). Perhaps things are explained more clearly on the "Phentermine & Mastercard" page linked in this article; I didn't click on it because its being hosted on an IP with no domain looks awfully phishy. At any rate, this article is littered with external links, appears to be original research and/or crystal-ballism, is so difficult to understand that it could possibly be considered nonsense, is unencyclopedic in tone, and has a misleading title (incidentally, I can't help but wonder if the title was conceived with search engine spamming in mind). So, delete. ergot 15:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
