ICA (4-Icaroldichloridesulphate aka Icarus)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article tagged as possible hoax but even if not a hoax, the article explicitly claims that the subject is "rare", "newly discovered", "no history of [U.S.] FDA approved medical use", "has only been available for sale since early 2010", etc. In other words, not a notable product. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:44, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete both. The descriptions are nonsense from a chemist's point of view. According to Chemical Abstracts, there is no chemical compound in the scientific literature that contains "icarol" in its name. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete both: Looks like a hoax to me, especially given the claim that it is extracted from a rare Sri Lankan plant...Meodipt (talk) 22:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
