Original research. Borderline nonsense. -- RHaworth 13:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Give it the boot Original research and chronic lack of good sources. This page is meant as a joke I think, I hope so anyway.  Does the writer really think that shoes cause multiple sclerosis?  Good luck on proving that one.  'At this time no real scientific investigation has been done' says it all really. Nick mallory 13:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete This is not only orignial research, it is almost insulting. As a member of the Mid Atlantic SIDS Board of Directors, to see SIDS ties to wearing shoes is disgusting.--Fresh 13:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems to be close to the heart of original research to me: not only unsupported by reliable sources, but also seems to have an axe to grind.  - Smerdis of Tlön 14:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's just drivel. BTLizard 14:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * BJAODN! Oh, wait... :) Speedy delete G1. Yechiel Man 14:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - If you look at the web page under external links, it states that it is all original research and nothing has been varified. User: (talk • contribs • count ) 15:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - badly written and original research.  Goldenglove Contribs · Talk 15:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as nonsense. GlassFET 15:46, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as nonsense/hoax/joke. Creator's only contribution, which is never a good sign in these situations. Consider speedy. Newyorkbrad 16:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete orignal research per the text of the article. &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 17:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clearly a case of WP:NOR...though I admit I got a good laugh out of the article.  Maintainerzero 20:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per the WP:NOR consensus. --mordicai. 21:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is an essay about basic principles found in podiatry.  This would constitute WP:OR, methinks.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 22:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:DAFT and delete. Grutness...wha?  00:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, and lack of pirates is causing global warming too. -- Mithent 01:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced speculation. The only external link points to a site which more or less says "don't believe a word of this, guv" as a disclaimer on its homepage. There's no sign that this was written with any input from podiatric medicine, meaning that podiatrists or degenerative disease specialists aren't actually saying this, or that the article would need writing from scratch anyways.
