 * Speedy Delete as blatant hoax (WP:CSD) - the links presented above: the latter two are both wikipedia mirrors, presenting the same fictitious article as is being deleted here - as mentioned at the bottom of the articles. The first is also derived from wikipedia, as is noted: "The original description for this topic was automatically generated from the Wikipedia article "Teddy-Sumo's Disease"" and a link to the "full Wikipedia article". There are no Google scholar hits, which is odd for a disease, and there are just 136 niormal hits; none of which are reliable sources, the vast majority are from Wikipedia. This serves to demonstrate just how far misinformation in Wikipedia articles can penetrate. – Toon (talk)  17:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Toon. No sources, obvious hoax. Edward321 (talk) 17:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
