Iododiphenhydramine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

"Iododiphenhydramine" is an ambiguous name which could refer to any of several chemical compounds. The chemical name "iododiphenhydramine" does not appear in any major chemical database that I have searched. A search of medical databases turns up no drug with this name making it extremely dubious that it is marketed as an antihistamine in African countries as claimed (or anywhere else). A web search turns up no reliable sources (hits are mostly forum spam). In short, the content is vague, dubious, non-notable, unreferenced, and unverifiable.

 * Delete. Per ChemNerd: no reliable sources found, very unlikely that it is a widely used in Africa as claimed. Jarkeld .alt (Talk) 22:47, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete or Merge - I consider myself an extreme inclusionist when it comes to chemicals, but I find absolutely no mention of this compound in the literature (using SciFinder). I would support a merge to the diphenhydramine article or the creation of a halogenated diphenhydramine article, but as it stands, there aren't many sources to go on. P. D.
