[edit] USDS Syndrome

USDS Syndrome (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There are zero Google results for this syndrome. The scientist who allegedly discovered it, "Noam Benson", does not appear to exist (or at least has not made much of an impact in the field). Prod tag contested by article's author. Delete due to lack of verification. ... discospinster _talk 02:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Has every single feature of a hoax medical article I can think of. No reliable sources, badly written with terrible grammar, "condition" makes no sense (there's no such thing as a "contagious" psychological condition, at least not in the medical sense of the word), uses layman's terms repeatedly where medical terms should be used (and often uses the wrong layman's term ie. contagious), reference to authorities who don't actually exist (there is no notable psychologist named Noam Benson), article created by single-purpose account with same surname as supposed authority, etc. Were there such a thing as USDS Syndrome and had it been identified in 1981, there would be at least one article on it or the expert on Google Scholar. There is none. --Charlene 02:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Pure hoax. —Celithemis 02:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No documentation, no references, and google search ("USDS Syndrome") turns up zilch. --Dennisthe2 02:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. Bucketsofg 02:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete G10. Possibly. Am I the only one picking up "Jews, especially Jewish males, are cultish and overly concerned with exterior social status (totally unlike American Christians)" from this? --Action Jackson IV 05:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
