Separately from the criteria for including/excluding diet programs, the "brief descriptions" of individual diet programs need to stay brief. Most of them need about three sentences: It is an X, it was created by Y, it is unusual because Z. If a description goes beyond about six sentences, then it should be reduced.
Looking at the various articles about diets on wiki, it seems to be tempting to provide very detailed descriptions on what to eat in the first few days, what to eat during the second week, how many things to do each day, all the permitted and forbidden foods, etc. It is often {{ How-to}} content written by an enthusiast of the program.
So if you see this sort of content creeping in, please WP:Be bold and reduce it to the essentials. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 17:31, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
