This article is entirely unreferenced, and might constitute a hoax. John254 21:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This article is a hoax. There would be sections about it on medical sites(ie: webMD.com) if it were real. Icestorm815 21:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Cancer of the sleep? Arctic foxes? Delete as nonsense - I'd even argue that this is speediable as either nonsense or silly vandalism. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 21:38, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as certain WP:HOAX. Even if the condition described exists, it clearly has nothing to do with cancer and so the unscientific terminology in the title gives this one away as a hoax. Cosmo0 21:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Tagged it for a speedy as vandalism: the text is modified from the article Delirium. Thomjakobsen 21:52, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
