Paper Blindness

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

Was PROD tagged as hoax, but the PROD tag was removed. There are no Ghits for this concept; all hits for "paper blindness" refer to other things. I have access to PubMed through work, and there are no hits at all there either. That reading makes your eyes weaker is one of the classic myths. Finally, none of the references mentions paper or reading at all -- they refer to scleritis or to dry eyes in general. Delete as hoax. bonadea contributions talk 08:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Not sure about the hoax, but the references definitely don't fit the article.  Get  Dumb   09:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Hopefully some people with specific medical knowledge will weigh in on the hoax question -- this edit by the article's author is probably relevant (see this reference which does not support it). --bonadea contributions talk 10:26, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:V for want of reliable sources. Deor (talk) 14:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as either a hoax or original research. Drawn Some (talk) 15:39, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. It was discussed a few days ago at WT:MED and dismissed as a hoax built around a description of Asthenopia.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax; I'd consider blocking the article creator for obvious bad faith (e.g. the fake ICD-10 code) as well. MastCell Talk 21:16, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
