Activated phenolics

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

article is not supported by current science; appears to be WP:OR

Delete: It's WP:PROFRINGE, not valid science, google search comes up with nothing. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 16:06, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Delete: There is no evidence in WP:SCIRS literature that ingested polyphenols ("phenolics") a) have definable roles in vivo or b) are "activated". On the contrary, polyphenols are extensively cleaved into smaller compounds whose fate is for rapid excretion. A similar article already exists, adequately explaining the state of science. There is no WP:MEDRS literature indicating any anti-disease benefit of a polyphenol-rich diet or benefit of polyphenols being "activated". The article as first written by Revitalizer appears to be an opinion essay not supported by reliable sources or clear definition. The article should be deleted. --Zefr (talk) 16:30, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Delete In addition to the objections already raised, "phenolics" is normally used to refer to phenolic resins, a type of polymer, and it is not at all clear why "phenolics" is being used instead of "polyphenols" here. Roches (talk) 20:19, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Delete A content fork of Phenols. MarkBernstein (talk) 20:22, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Redirect to Phenols. The article has been reduced to a stub after removing WP:PROFRINGE material and pretty much has no real claim to stand alone notability. Any reliably sourced material can be added to the already established article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:21, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
