Chilli hiccups[edit]

Placing this here because I was unsure if it quite met the level for a CSD. This is an unnecessary trivia article which even uses other Wikipedia articles as sources. The article on Hiccups already mentions spicy foods as a possible cause. A full half of this article contains restatements of the definition of hiccups from Hiccup. Seems pointless. Not notable.

Speedy delete: The first part of the article is a straight copy from the Hiccups article. None of the references back up the statements in the article such as 9 out of 10 people get hiccups because of chili. One of the references is another Wikipedia article, another is a chacha search result and the other two don't mention chili hiccups at all except as a passing mention that spicy food can sometimes cause hiccups (which is already stated in the Hiccups article.

Speedy delete - WP:TRIVIA, WP:NOT, to say the least. Pointless nonsense. ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 00:47, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete under WP:Horseshit: "A chilli hiccup is caused by consuming hot or spicy meals which can irritate this nerve and can cause hiccups in 9 out of 10 people." Carrite (talk) 03:22, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
