This new page lacks any sources. Are there sources out there that discuss "outline of nutrition" as a topic? Legacypac ( talk) 22:07, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- Comment please see Wikipedia:Outlines. ‘Outline of Nutrition’ does not need to be notable as a topic in itself. Mccapra ( talk) 22:59, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Outlines is a creation of the editor who has been pushing these pages on the project and may not reflect policy. This is just another form of list and I've been advised that lists must be shown to be notable and have refs even when the articles on the list are referenced.

- There are hundreds of outlines on Wikipedia (see
Category:Wikipedia outlines and
Portal:Contents/Outlines). I suggest that you try get a broader consensus on this if you are proposing that all, or a large amount, should be deleted.

- There are hundreds of outlines, which lead to such an uproar the wikiproject was almost abandoned. Consensus is built by precident at AfDs.

- If you believe that consensus is built by precedent at AfDs, then I encourage you to look at past AfDs of outline articles. I've gone though several pages of deletion discussions of outlines and there is a precedent of keeping them. If you doubt this, feel free to look at a list I compiled at User:MarkZusab/outlineAFDs or look for yourself here. MarkZusab ( talk) 01:48, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

- Delete/Merge to Nutrition. The majority of these links are already within the text of that article or in its see also section. Yes, that section is rather large, but I don't see this outline as being a helpful addition rather than redundant or excessive. With a number of links (including the sugar substitutes, freezer burn, and herb) not even being closely related to nutrition, I see no reason why this needs to be a separate article.

- Delete as a duplication of nutrition but lacking refrences. This lack of references creates problems. For example, should dieting be described as the "essence of nutrition"? Not according to nutrition. Are Advanced glycation end-products a "General nutrition concept"? No. Is the Food and Drugs Act an organisation? No. Is Fructose a "sugar substitute"? No. Is the list of "polyunsaturated fats" complete or are important ones missing? Who knows? Polyunsaturated fats doesn't inform us. Is alcohol a sugar? No. Would deleting improve the encylopdia? Yes. -- Pontificalibus 13:40, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
