Non-notable (and incredibly trivial) "measurement unit" invented (allegedly) 2 months ago. Originally proposed deletion as a non-notable neologism; PROD declined by article's author. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:02, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Keep but improve article by adding more references. I was easily able to find a number of independent sources[http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2011/07/24/should-you-trust-calorie-counts-on-menus/calorie-counts-wont-cure-the-obesity-epidemic],[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/12/15/INONTOBLD.DTL],[http://www.mymoneyblog.com/what-does-200-calories-cost-the-economics-of-obesity.html] discussing the concept of calories per dollar, thus making this term notable.

Comment Per NJ Wine, the term has been in use before the alleged invention by the Australia student. The term is still trivial, and requires a Wiktionary definition at best, but certainly the hoaxish article that was nominated, claiming invention of the term in March 2012, needs to be deleted or completely rewritten from scratch.

Delete unless completely rewritten with actual sourcing. This is utter shite.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 03:28, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Comment I have rewritten the article to remove the specious claims about the Australian student. Having done so, we are left with a rather short article about a term that appears to be in widespread use, but trivially so. Even given the sourcing that I have found (and more can be found -- just do a Google search on the term), I don't feel that this term merits anything more than a wiktionary definition.

Move to Wiktionary. Beagel (talk) 18:35, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Delete or move to Wiktionary. I favor delete because a definition would be trivial: "Calories per dollar means the quantity of calories in a particular food divided by its price in dollars." Well, duh! --MelanieN (talk) 23:42, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per MelanieN. And I have concerns that the article seems to be trying to compile a list of foods ("Add your own items to the list"), which would be well out of scope of Wikipedia. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:38, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Delete per "WP is not a dictionary." The concept could be mentioned and explained in some other article on the topic of nutrition. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
