Rotting nose disease (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There is no record of this disease or the protozoan Ocimita anywhere outside of wikipedia Bendž|Ť 17:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as likely WP:HOAX. Something smells fishy. The reference and external link don't lead anywhere useful. Clarityfiend 17:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Either a hoax or a seriously confused article author. "The genus is one of three genera which make up the phylum Chordata"? Feeding garlic to sick fish? Deor 19:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This apparently is a disease of oscars similar to hole in the head disease, but I couldn't find anything to support its existence on the internet. An inquiry over at the science reference desk gave a possible solution to this: it could be someone's name for head and lateral line erosion disease. This article is currently helping no one, since it is unlikely anyone would search for it under that name, and the details are too vague to rename it to anything else. --Joelmills 02:19, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax, or at least uselessly inaccurate information given a non-existent name of a disease caused by a non-existent protist. One editor attempted to contact the creator of this article [1] to clarify the facts, but no clarification ever happened. Neil916 (Talk) 03:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and Redirect to Hole in the head disease. Could just be a different and less common name for the same disease which already exists as an article at hole in the head disease. Or could be a hoax trying to make a parody of hole in the head disease. But in any case it should be redirected to HHD to prevent future confusion. --Melanochromis 03:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment OMG, I thought you were joking, but there really is such a thing as hole in the head disease. Should I add to the article that that certain politicians are also extremely susceptible to this disease? Clarityfiend 06:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Might be possible that the author was confused with the article similar to the one above. nearly the same contents were at the hole in the head article Shinhumcho

Delete. I write about freshwater fish for a living, and I've never heard of this disease. It sounds like Hole-in-the-Head though... perhaps a flawed translation from another language. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 16:07, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
