[edit] Noacniari Deluge

Not quite patent nonsense, but if anyone wants to suggest it ....--Doc (?) 00:59, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't know if outright deletion is key here. It looks like there is reference to a second source (the first being The Bible). This may have something to do with the "Concentric Spheres" model of the Earth devised in the mid-19th century, although a Google search turned up butkus. --NielsenGW 01:40, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Oh, I think deletion is very key here. 'Noacniari' turns up no googles - that's a crackpot theory that's not on the internet (perhaps that's notable in itself). This is a hoax - it's just too obscure for us to get it. --Doc (?) 07:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Seems to be a hoax as per above, and verges on the nonsensical. Demogorgon's Soup-taster 08:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - To author: Please provide an authentic document/scripture saying close to word-for-word as it says in the article. UniReb 11:23, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Leaning towards Merge -- After an exhaustive investigation (I think I exhausted Google), I would recommend to keep this article (for now). It justs needs more research. The Deluge is in reference to the flood that Noah and the animals rode out on the Ark. Noah's name in Hebrew becomes "Noach." Noacniari may be a corruption of Noachian, a word sometimes attributed to the Great Flood. Merge the usable bits into Deluge (mythology). --NielsenGW 13:56, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • If you're right, then (delete and?) redirect to Deluge (mythology) - I can't see anything worth merging. --Doc (?) 14:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• This article is a cut-and-paste of a single paragraph on page 39 of this document (which is probably public domain since it's from a US Govt website). In the context of the full article, this appears to be an attempt to make a parenthetical comment about groundwater and mentions the "Noacniari Deluge" in passing. It is clearly not a discussion about the "Noacniari Deluge". That section of the full article is also nearly incomprehensible (proving that government-sponsored gibberish is still gibberish). I don't see anything worth keeping and except for this one article, I can't find any other verification of the use of the title "Noacniari Deluge". Without verification, I have to recommend deletion.

• Delete as per Rossami. Good work. -- Kjkolb 06:29, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Based on the research mentioned above, I think that the title of this article (obviously taken from the government document) should be Noachian Deluge, which should be set as a redirect to Noah. Crypticfirefly 14:31, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
