Fails WP:NEO. I'm not seeing any reliable sources for this syndrome. The article's creator appears to be has the same name as this fellow, at one of only two ghits for the term. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:53, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. We already have a page on Burning mouth syndrome. I could not find any reliable sources for this particular topic. Tinton5 (talk) 04:44, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Can't find a valid merge or redirect target. Ansh666 06:35, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per two users above reasons. Original Authority (talk) 10:43, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - I've expanded both burning mouth syndrome and xerostomia in the past and I never came across this term whilst researching either topic. Burning mouth syndrome would not be the same as the topic of this page, which as about reduced pH in the mouth not a burning sensation. A more closely related topic would be acid erosion, but this page is mostly filled with content about xerostomia. We could delete with no merge and everything would be better covered and referenced between xerostomia and acid erosion. I could not find any sources at all on pubmed that use this term. I found some unreliable sources on a normal google search, but medical topics need to meet WP:MEDRS. One page used the term as a synonym for burning mouth syndrome http://demo.seven.ua/html_coding/demo-1059/mouth_syndrome.php . Note also that someone appears to be offering payment for editing on this page http://www.freelancer.in/projects/wikipedia/Refine-posted-wikipedia-topic-meet.html . Further to Clarityfiend's comment above, this person has the same name as the writer of the article. Lesion  ( talk ) 10:54, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
