The four humours and their qualities These humours contain qualities such as hot, cool, moist, dry, etc., which must also remain in balance. Foods can be heating, cooling, or generative of one humour. Some foods produce good juices and others bad juices and often times cooking and preparation of the foods can change or improve the juices of the foods. In addition, foods may be easy to assimilate (easy to pass through the body), easily excreted, nourishing or not nourishing. In Hippocratic medicine, the qualities in foods are analogous to the four humors in the body: too much of a single one is bad, a proper mixture is ideal. Therefore, the consumption of correctly-balanced foods and life-style of the patient was crucial to the prevention and treatment of disease in Ancient Greece.

'COMMENT' I think what Iowateen might be referring to is general criteria for speedy deletion № 7, “Author requests deletion.” However, Mr. West is not the 'author' of the article, he is merely its 'subject'. Deleting — speedy or otherwise — a biography of a living person simply because its subject requests it would start us down a slippery slope. The biography of a living person guidelines are intended to prevent Wikipedia from running afoul of libel laws while still maintaining a database of informative articles on living persons. So long as those guidelines are adhered to, there should never be a reason to delete a biography of a living person at the mere request of its subject. The subject of the article is akin to one of us here, in the Wikipedia community: entitled only to a vote to keep or delete. I think the important point in this WP:AFD discussion is that we are not able to obtain third-party references to support the Ashley West article and satisfy the following guidelines: verifiability,
