Rotten burps

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

This seems to be a far from encyclopaedic article on a medical subject. It is written almost in the style of a self-diagnosis howto and some of it seems to be incorrect. For example, Helicobacter pylori is really a bacteria, not a parasite, as claimed. Both of the references given are just non-RS blogs. I think the content has simply been cobbled together by somebody, with little understanding of the subject, who thinks it is funny to call an article "rotten burps". Accuracy matters for all articles but I think it is particularly important that we do not give false medical information. Lets get rid of this article as unverifiable.

 * Delete as a probable hoax; the subject does not appear to be an actual medical condition as nothing has been published about itGoogle News. The references in the article are blogs, so they cannot be used for sources.   A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 22:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- almost a speedy as nonsense, though not really in the scope of the speedy definition. DGG (talk) 22:55, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Oh, c'mon DGG, give us a chance to accumulate some nice sarcastic AFD vote coments. Btw, Helicobacter is a parasite in the sense that it depends on the human body for survival. JFW | T@lk  23:00, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK with me, have an enjoyable evening. DGG (talk)
 * The parasitism article says that bacteria and viruses are not considered as parasites in medical terminology. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:35, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I had rotten burps once. Tastes like chicken. -Atmoz (talk) 23:17, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Rotten burps or burps smelling like sulphur may be hard to diagnose, but that's not really relevant. We write articles about diseases and such rather than the symptoms it causes. Smelly burps are a symptom and thus not a suitable topic for an article. It's the wrong way around. (especially because if anyone is looking for a symptom they shouldn't be self-diagnosing themselves according to our medical disclaimer). - Mgm|(talk) 00:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
