[edit] Invention Index
A minor project about "misconceptions" around who invented what. This is its website. It has no Alexa rank and no links. Zero reliable sources and no news mentions exist. The site is not notable under WP:WEB and the article is not verifiable. As a last argument, I don't think this site could ever have been remotely popular or notable solely because of its extremely awkward layout (one small, unsizeable window). --Wafulz 23:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete This article is an attempt to capitalize on an Internet hoax. The website tries hard to mislead gullible people while being a clever joke for cognoscenti. It is a single page with one image and jokes like "Hegel invented the toaster" and "Sarte invented the escalator". It is a Fictitious entry that belongs, if anywhere, in the List of hoaxes. --Blainster 17:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
