 * Symbol delete vote.svg Looks like a clear essay. Not sure it is appropriate here, seems to be an awful lot of essays being started recently, anybody noticed?♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:15, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I seem to have noticed a few around. I create stub/start/c class articles only, which don't look like an essay. --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 20:21, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * But you nominated this one, Tomtomn00, why?   Wikipelli  Talk   22:22, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought it was more of a massive article explaining it in-depth. I replied to Dr. Blofeld saying I have seen some around. --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 22:26, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, that makes no sense to me at all. You thought it was "a massive article explaining it in-depth"? What does that mean? I ask because there have been a few problematic DYK nominations from you recently. It wastes people's time.   Wikipelli  Talk   22:30, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The article is hugely generalized and looks like a college essay rather than an encyclopedic article! "In these more traditional countries, women being thick or having a “pudgy tummy” is considered to be desirable and normal by social standards." for instance. Really, each woman feels the same and likes having a fat stomach in each non western country and western media is solely to blame? Western media invented the concept of women wanting to be slim is basically what it claims.. Mmm..♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:23, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
