Sliding uncus syndrome

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article about a medical neologism, paid for by the person who coined the term (see talk page). My searches show that the term has not been used by other authors raising serious WP:OR and WP:MEDRS concerns. SmartSE (talk) 23:02, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO plus serious WP:OR and WP:MEDRS concerns cited above. My knowledge of searching medical references is limited, but it's worth noting that Google Scholar shows exactly one hit for this term, and it's the paper published by the individual who paid for this article to be written [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mr_RD&diff=next&oldid=669087080]. — Brianhe (talk) 23:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, conflict of interest by paid editor and questionable RS and OR as noted by others. Citobun (talk) 11:14, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have already disclosed my WP:COI as per Wikimedia Terms of Use. I request the page to be judged on its merit. This syndrome is a unique and important one because it undermines the basic concept known to neurology and thus is an important lesson to clinicians at all specialities.

 * Delete - This page should be judged on its merits, and not the original author's conflict of interest. That being said, I fully agree with the !votes made by SmartSE and Brianhe; specifically, the fact that the only result on Google Scholar is a paper published by the guy who paid for this article to be written shows that it's a classic case of WP:NEO.

 * Delete per nom. ♔ MONARCH Talk to me  02:08, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. This new diagnosis is too recently described to be a useful encyclopedia article. Bearian (talk) 21:12, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
