Cortislim
This was tagged VfD on January 13 but not actually listed. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 00:01, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. --RoySmith 03:06, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. 381 000 web hits, 336 Usenet dominated by real people discussing it noncommercially (soc.support.fat-acceptance, alt.support.anxiety-panic.moderated, misc.consumers, rec.crafts.textiles.needlework, a thread on alt.politics.bush titled "Bush like Cortislim Ad. Talks a lot but actually promises no results", some ribbing on alt.fan.phil-hendrie for Hendrie endorsing the product...) 14 Google news hits in the current cache, some using it as a generic recognizable name for a weight loss pill mass-marketed in the United States. Federal Trade Commission enforcement action only adds to notability: remember the Bowflex vfd? Anyway, controversial drugs are pretty notable! Samaritan 05:39, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Madame Sosostris 06:44, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. Notable.  --L33tminion | (talk) 07:32, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with Samaritan. Grue 10:41, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as Samaritan said. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 12:49, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Sigh... Vacuum c 15:45, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, their ads are on every night locally during the syndication block. -- Smerdis of Tlön 15:50, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Would have said merge ionto Anti-obesity drug but it's not an anti-obesity drug. There are sooo many over hiped drugs... Accept this one and accept the entire bunch later. So delete. Gtabary 18:26, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, needs cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 02:59, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but it needs fleshing out.--Enigma 04:55, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with Samaritan. --Idont Havaname 06:25, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously. GRider\talk 19:26, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sure I hate Cortislim and those dang ads.  I was actually reading up on it earlier today.  The page like many needs improvements (there's a lot of criticism of this product), history, etc.  Besides that, was a reason given for the VfD? --Sketchee 08:17, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. One can't listen to Phil Hendrie without hearing a commercial for the stuff.  In fact, he's come out during the program in defense of it. - Lucky 6.9 17:44, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
