Secondhand obesity

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Neologism with little notability beyond political posturing. Article was started with a passing reference to a political talk show as its only "source". Shortly thereafter, two weak sources were added: a forum posting to a "smoker's rights" site griping about "nanny state" issues and an obesity group discussing causes of obesity (without really saying anything relevant to this article). No reliable sources provided or found. Not notable. SummerPhD (talk) 02:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is research in this area, but this term is of new coinage. JFW &#124; T@lk  09:04, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep IDONTLIKEIT-motivated nomination. this and this reference prove its notability. There are enough coverage in google news search --Reference Desker (talk) 00:42, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - My motivation was lack of notability. Your first link give me a notice that the viewing limit has been exceeded. The second one tells us that "there was no concept of passive smoking, let alone 'passive drinking' or 'secondhand obesity'", which hardly seems like meaningful coverage of the concept, IMO. If you feel there is enough coverage in a google search, please provide the sources you are finding in that search. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:12, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
