WP:NEOLOGISM, zero Google hits. Nat Gertler (talk) 21:50, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination and perhaps wp:hoax. -- Non-Dropframe   talk   22:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:V and WP:NOR, based on Google books.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:15, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - The topic of "Weight phobia" itself is covered in tertiary sources: The encyclopedia of obesity and eating disorders, Eating disorders in the Mediterranean area: an exploration in transcultural psychology. Renamed to Weight phobia. Northamerica1000 (talk) 01:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That's not what this article is about. This is someone posting about an insult he and someone else had for another over weightlifting. That's it. --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:05, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The article's scope and content have been completely revised (see below). Northamerica1000 (talk) 02:23, 5 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep (and important note) - The article has been entirely restructured with a new topical focus upon Weight phobia, all original research has been removed. I'm working on the article, here's two references I've added to it:
 * ISBN 1590337131
 * — Northamerica1000 (talk) 02:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * So what you're saying in effect is that you've gone ahead and unlaterally deleted an article that was under AfD so that you could create an article on a different topic under a different name? That is tremendously inappropriate. If you feel that there should be an article on weight phobia, good for you, go start one, but changing title and content of an existing article is not the way that that is done. I am going to go revert the article to what it was so that this AfD can properly continue. --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:36, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete - Topic is entirely original research, and likely a hoax. The new article Weight phobia covers this topic appropriately. Northamerica1000 (talk) 02:42, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking care of that, and for putting in good effort on weight phobia! --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:45, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
