Nutritional Gatekeeper

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unencyclopedic original research. Nominated for speedy, which was (rightly, I think) declined. There's a whiff of COI here--the primary author of the references is Brian Wansink, head of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, while the author of the article is User:Foodandbrandlab‎ (talk). -- Finngall  talk  18:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete looks like original research, no online references. Also reads as a definition or part of a textbook WP:NOTTEXTBOOK AlbinoFerret (talk) 19:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – My first question is why are we recommending Afd on articles that are less than 1-2 hours old? At worst, we should be {PROD} tagging.  Second, the subject matter has generated enough interest to get at least 9 hits on Google Scholar, as shown here , under that exact phrasing.  Third, that exact phrasing, even generated hits under Google News, as shown here.  This in itself establishes Notability.  In addition, I believe we have to give our contributors time to finish working on the piece, especially with subject matter such as this, at least 10 days, before trash canning the article.

 * Comment. What we need is evidence that the concept is used elsewhere as well. DGG (talk) 01:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – There should be more information in this article and that will be added shortly. However, this information is valuable. The USDA is using it as part of their nutrition education. In fact, a podcast about the topic can be found here: http://www.mypyramid.gov/podcasts/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Foodandbrandlab (talk • contribs) 14:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
