Slow aging

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This is a non-notable whatever it is; a philosophy, a theory, a lifestyle, a something. It's all copy/pasted from a book and a blog, but there is an OTRS ticket allowing that. However, it's still original research, and the sources it's cited to don't mention the concept at all, and are WP:BOMBARDMENT. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 06:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Laylah, I am working to change the tone of the article so it makes more sense. The sources dont support the slow aging concept however, they provide evidence of the use of natural elements, herbs, better food v/s commercially manufactured drugs. The article is really meant to educate and enlighten our readers and help them understand the slow aging phenomenon that we believe in. I am working on potential improvements. Would it be possible to remove it from speedy deletion so I can take time to improve it?

 * Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. The notion that aging can be slowed is obviously knocking around, but the material is largely fringey and this thing is really uncited (links to a set of Google searches simply does not cut the mustard). Mangoe (talk) 18:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree that the article can be improved by modifying the content and using appropriate language/tone. I don't agree with the fact that the article is not appropriate for wikipedia. Please refer to the below link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aging There are around 6 to 7 articles which are of similar nature and none of them have been nominated for deletion. All or many of them need improvements as well. I am working on the slow aging article and in a week or so I should be able to re-do most of it. I am working to change the tone of the article so it makes more sense. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. . The article is truly meant to educate and enlighten our readers and help them understand the slow aging phenomenon that we believe in. I am working on potential improvements. Would it be possible to remove it from speedy deletion so I can take time to improve it? Please let me know! The article is not talking about use of any beauty products, drugs or any other commercial products/goods. It is truly truly meant to educate people and I do agree that it needs to be re-worded. Can you help me you with the contacts of the editors who can help me out. I have seen similar articles on wikipedia and would love to talk to someone before i make any further changes.Pilot03 (talk) 13:37, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Pilot03
 * Delete per WP:TNT; currently this is a word salad, and not even an essay. Bearian (talk) 21:23, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with the nominator and Mangoe. I was equally concerned about the article and removed more of the egregious how-to material. The topic lacks reasonable reliable sources and currently nothing in the article is salvageable. Rkitko (talk) 01:59, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
