Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days

[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence of notability. This Google search shows a couple brief mentions (likely from press releases) in very minor newspapers, a Natural News mention, and nothing else besides some off-topic articles. Box Office Mojo shows no theatrical release. Rotten Tomatoes [1] knows of no reviews.

And to note, it's not that there aren't movies on similar subject, that clearly are notable: Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and Forks Over Knives, say, both have widespread reviews and coverage. This does not, that, and that alone, is why I'm nominating it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:45, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as there appears to be significant coverage, such as through the Google Books results. --Rubbish computer (Merry Christmas!: ...And a Happy New Year!) 23:50, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The requirement is significant coverage in reliable sources; those don't appear to be reliable. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:49, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to absence of sufficient reliable independent sources to allow an NPOV article. The "documentary" promotes a dangerously misguided approach to managing diabetes, which has, as far as I can see, zero credible scientific support. To cover this without robust sources on the validity of the claims made, and content noting that the entire idea of following a raw food diet in place of diabetes medication, is batshit insane, dangerous and wrong.

Delete Makes medical claims, but lacks references which satisfy Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). A few articles based on press releases fall far short of the required level of sourcing when claims are made that doing thus and such will reverse diabetes.

Delete, fails WP:NF. WegianWarrior (talk) 17:11, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not for helping promote advocacy of a medically unsound idea that is not notable in and of itself. Bishonen | talk 11:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC).[reply]
