 * Tagged for speedy with "can't verify, appears to be original research" as the reason. No vote from me. Kappa 22:54, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete no google hits. What an imagination some submitors have... feydey 23:13, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmm maybe we should check the rest of their contributions too... Kappa 23:23, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Crass and insulting. Thanks, fellow editior.  --AStanhope 14:22, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete apparent hoax. -- Etacar11   00:34, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Can't verify as a real diagnosis. ManoaChild 03:41, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I find 18 Google hits for the word "rotundant" on its own; nothing in Merriam-Webster or Chambers dictionaries. This might be a recognised disroder in body image perception, but I'd hazard that name is OR Tonywalton 12:06, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep - It is indeed very rare. What you people fail to understand is that just because something isn't in Google doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.  One of the very reasons behind us writing for the Wikipedia is to supplement the existing record with new information - not merely to create an echo chamber for what already appears in Google.  Think about it.  --AStanhope 14:20, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Nothing in MedlinePlus or MedicineNet.com. I would think that a recognized disorder would show up there. --  Etacar11   14:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * When did Wikipedia get to be so Ameri-Centric? Contact:  Societé DHR, No 118, 3e, rue du Faubourg du Temple, 75010, Paris, France
 * It appears that you know something more about this than you're putting in the article, ASH. (For instance: what does DHR stand for?) Information about who identified the disorder, who treats it, who the Societé is... Eliot 16:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote. I agree very strongly about not just mirroring Google, AStanhope, but the fact that we can't even find evidence that a disorder with this name exists is near-certain proof that there's some highly important fact being left out of the article. (Maybe the name is just being poorly translated?) Just add any reference that will allow us to put the article in proper context. I will vote to keep if that shows up.

 * Yes, I would need more than an address in Paris for verification. -- Etacar11   15:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep-This is very important! I have a close friend who suffers from this disorder and it is no joke, trust me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.208.178.145 (talk) 03:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
