This article is written as an Essay (Original Content) and does not have real encyclopedic purpose. Vacation9 (talk) 16:05, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that the article takes an essay approach. It looks like the author attempted to create a new word or phrase. This is the confusing aspect of wikipedia: Where do you draw the line on new words or phrases? Wikipedia should delete other "non-encyclopedic" phrases such as "lol" and "ttyl" if they consider deleting a legit entry about fitness patterns. The term fitness patterns appears to have legitimate academic merit and should be kept on wikipedia. The same can not be said about "lol" and "ttyl". 24.31.174.121

"lol" and "ttyl" are valid entries because people may want to research what they mean. However, fitness pattern is written like an essay and is original content. Vacation9 (talk) 21:19, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, nom is correct this is what WP:OR is all about. Really nothing solid here at all. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:30, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody researches "lol" and "ttyl". Many people reasearch obesity. Obesity is in the news every day in the United States. "ttyl" and "lol" are not. Obesity is a current topic with much discussion. Fitness patterns should be removed from delete page and maintained as a valid wikipedia article. Fitness patterns contributes to the obesity issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.23.226 (talk) 19:54, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
