Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page BCD. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should: Thank you. Widefox ; talk 09:26, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
 * Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
 * Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
 * Only add a " red link " if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
 * Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
 * Do not insert external links or references

Chia edit
Hello Devon. Thanks for your courteous and thoughtful discussion on my Talk Page. Briefly concerning my revert, 1) the article you used provides nutrient information on chia seeds ("nutlets") that is redundant with existing content both in the chia article and the main article of Salvia hispanica (see nutrition table, as you acknowledge). It was one preliminary and primary study, apparently not repeated or confirmed by others, and not a comprehensive review that would justify it being included. Most of the nutrition discussions at WP rely on the objectivity and expertise of the USDA, so I felt your source and content added nothing significant as different from the USDA values. 2) the SEM study by Capitani et al. revealed other microstructural details that, if discussed in detail, represent non-encyclopedic information, i.e., WP:UNDUE to emphasize it. Also see WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, #6.

You also say "I would much more appreciate an article full of primary references than no article at all or an uncited article" to which I respond with a) we are writing an encyclopedia, not a journal article or manual, so primary sources not supported by a secondary source are easily misleading and need to offer information having substance for general encyclopedic information, which the Capitani report does not, in my opinion; and b) regarding unsourced statements, we need to find sources for them. If they are questionable for truth, then they should be removed. Kind regards. --Zefr (talk) 16:21, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
