Food avoidance eating disorder
Unsourced, unverified article on a disorder of debated status. Discussion on the article has included whether the name of the disorder is even appropriate. In light of lack of sources, delete the article. Starting fresh with good research later is, of course, always an option. —C.Fred (talk) 16:25, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article, as it is, smacks of Original Research. Unless someone can find some mention in a medical journal, I'd say delete it. alpha Chimp  laudare 16:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete! OR or possibly a hoax. Google found nothing at all except this article and a mirror from Answers.com. --Ginkgo100 talk · contribs · e@ 19:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no Ghits on the abreviation (FAED) or on the title, not in the DSM-IV, no sources.-- Dakota 21:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Eating disorders are a serious subject. There is a great deal of information available in the medical/psychological literature on the issue that can be referenced in a serious article. There are definitions and terms in DSM-IV - the diagnostic manual used by mental health professions that describe the diagnostic criteria for various types of eating disorders. This term is not one that is recognized in the professional literature. Mattisse 15:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
