This article is not based on reliable sources (or at least, the reliable sources cited do not discuss the supposed topic of the article), and a search does not reveal any that could be used to base an article on this topic on. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:08, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete. Is it too late to do a speedy delete now that this AFD was already started? I think it would qualify under A11. Obviously invented as a hoax, especially taking into consideration its twin article Sukuma Ancient Salt Technology (also at AFD) which is equally incoherent, except about baking soda instead of milk. Google doesn't come up with anything that seems remotely related to either article. —PermStrump(talk) 04:37, 29 May 2016 (UTC) *Updated —PermStrump(talk) 18:12, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have nominated Sukuma Calendar, created by the same editor, for speedy deletion, Permstrump, but under G3 as a hoax. I considered A11 for both articles, but it doesn't apply if there is any credible claim of significance. Perhaps there isn't such a claim here - the article is such a mish-mash that it's difficult to tell! Cordless Larry (talk) 13:17, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I meant that I thought the author invented the idea, as in it's nonexistent. Now that I'm re-reading the descriptions, I think I meant hoax. —PermStrump(talk) 18:12, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete as hoax. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 16:58, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I am not sure this is a hoax and think the editor may well be acting in good faith. That does not change the total lack of valid references so I agree the article does not belong on WP. DeVerm (talk) 14:03, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
