Aleksandrs Lapajevs: Nominator here. I hope that within a few days the article is changed so I, the nominator, can support keeping it. That will require three things, 2 of which we as editors can do, the first of which neither you nor I nor any other editor can do.
First, it requires that the topic meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. See
WP:Notability for details. If that isn't done, there's no point in spending time on the other things. We, as editors, can't wave a magic wand and cause reliable, independent sources to suddenly cover this topic in-depth if they have not done so already.
Second, there must be suitable references that demonstrate this. That is also covered in the "notability" guideline. As part of that, it must be fairly easy for editors who are assessing "is this topic notable" to spot those references. Sometimes, listing 2-3 of the "best" references on the talk page will do the trick.
Third, the article needs to be rewritten so
WP:Blow it up and start over no longer applies. Strictly speaking,
WP:Deletion is not cleanup but this article is so close to qualifying for speedy deletion as "spam" (other editors may say it actually DOES qualify) that even if 1 and 2 were taken care of tomorrow, at least some "cleanup" needs to be done immediately after, for the good of the encyclopedia.
Ideally, 1 and 2 should be completed sooner rather than later, and those, plus a good start on 3, well before this discussion closes. These discussions usually run for a week.

What you want from me? I deleted the article in Russian Wikipedia because the significance was not shown. And it contained false information. For example, some inorganic eggs were mentioned there. There were many sources out there, but they didn't talk about diet. Sou it was fake sourses. Sorry for my bad English. --

delete honestly this could've been g11'd, it's complete spam and total BS without any basis in science or medicine and obviously isn't notable.

Keep This article has to be kept. First, its not so different from any other diet pages on wikipedia, for instance
/info/en/?search=My_Weight_Loss_Coach and others. Second, in our region its the most popular weight loss method and has become part of our culture. Its being talked about on TV, radio, printed magazines, theatre shows, it has changed even a law. Third, it has over 5 million users, many celebrities. Fourth, even though it has been very popular and every person in our region has heard about it and many have used, until now there has not been any encyclopaedic source of information about it. Lets improve this page, but not delete it. — Preceding
