Calories Per Dollar (CPD)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable (and incredibly trivial) "measurement unit" invented (allegedly) 2 months ago. Originally proposed deletion as a non-notable neologism; PROD declined by article's author. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:02, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but improve article by adding more references. I was easily able to find a number of independent sources,, discussing the concept of calories per dollar, thus making this term notable. NJ Wine (talk) 21:38, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Per NJ Wine, the term has been in use before the alleged invention by the Australia student. The term is still trivial, and requires a Wiktionary definition at best, but certainly the hoaxish article that was nominated, claiming invention of the term in March 2012, needs to be deleted or completely rewritten from scratch.

 * Delete unless completely rewritten with actual sourcing. This is utter shite.--Milowent • hasspoken  03:28, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I have rewritten the article to remove the specious claims about the Australian student. Having done so, we are left with a rather short article about a term that appears to be in widespread use, but trivially so.  Even given the sourcing that I have found (and more can be found -- just do a Google search on the term), I don't feel that this term merits anything more than a wiktionary definition.

 * Move to Wiktionary. Beagel (talk) 18:35, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or move to Wiktionary. I favor delete because a definition would be trivial: "Calories per dollar means the quantity of calories in a particular food divided by its price in dollars." Well, duh! --MelanieN (talk) 23:42, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per MelanieN. And I have concerns that the article seems to be trying to compile a list of foods ("Add your own items to the list"), which would be well out of scope of Wikipedia. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  01:38, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per "WP is not a dictionary." The concept could be mentioned and explained in some other article on the topic of nutrition. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
