Daily Tortilla Intake

I've checked on Google, but none related to it. I suspected that this article is a hoax. I suggest this article should be deleted because there no references, citations or external links on the article. --JJ98 (talk) 21:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Amazingly, the article's author has managed to find three legitimate sources (,, and ) relating to the various effects of tortillas on overall nutrition and health. However, none of these article relate to diabetes, which appears to be the main thrust of the article, and none of them refer to the phrase "daily tortilla intake".  I suspect this is just a local slang term that the author is attempting to legitimize.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with WikiDan61's assessment that none of the sources use the term daily tortilla intake. Accordingly, this looks to be an article about a neologism or regional slang term. In either case, there's no demonstration of widespread usage in the term, so the term itself should not have an article. At best, this may warrant a sentence in an article on diabetes or carbohydrate-controlled diets, e.g. "Dietitians often present the recommended allowances of carbohydrates in terms that the patients can identify with, such as tortillas or slices of bread." —C.Fred (talk) 00:35, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, straightforward non-notable neologism, hoax or unverifiable. Hairhorn (talk) 01:07, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm not sure it's accurate to call this a hoax, but it's a surprisingly well-written article about a non-notable concept (then again, sentence spacing is a featured article, but I digress). Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete The best hoaxes are the ones that are well-written. DTI?  Sounds like it might be true, but I don't believe a word of it.  Mandsford 16:08, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a hoax and contains bogus medical information. ErikHaugen (talk) 17:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC) Unsourced neologism, see wp:NEO - subject does not seem to meet the criteria of having several reliable sources that discuss the term. ErikHaugen (talk) 17:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
