Ethanolic extract of mango peel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. I tried to redirect this to mango previously, but it was reverted on the ground that ethanolic peel extract wasn't mentioned there. Trying deletion now. There's no good way to mention ethanolic peel extract in the mango article, as the sources that talk about it aren't WP:MEDRS compliant. There are also non MEDRS sources that talk about acetone extracts and 7 different solvent systems. There are may well be studies on mango seed/leaf/bark/pulp extracts with water/hexane/acetone/ethanol/methanol as solvents.

Aside from the now removed medical claims, we're left with a indiscriminate list of secondary compounds in mango peel ethanol extracts. Mango does mention some secondary compounds, but there's no reason to think that an extract of a particular part of the plant with a particular solvent is notable.

It's not just any random part. The peel and perhaps also the seed are parts most likely to contain agents of interest. As far as medicinal extracts are concerned, an ethanolic extract is probably the most common type. It may be okay to delete the article, but not on the basis of faulty assertions. --Hyperforin (talk) 16:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as a content fork of Mango. This really doesn't say anything significant that the parent article doesn't cover, and there's no indication whatsoever that this specific focus has independent notability separate from the broader topic. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:05, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research of an industrial process. I don't get it. Is this somebody's term paper? Bearian (talk) 01:45, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per Bearian. One could write a similar (and similarly pointless) article for every type of vegetable matter on the planet. This is (albeit slightly tarted up now) a classic "how fruits cure cancer" content fork. Blythwood (talk) 10:43, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
