Talk:Bananadine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've re-written some of the article, previously much of it appeared to perpetuate the bananadine myth.

The line bananadine which, when correctly prepared, can be smoked with hallucinogenic symptoms is misleading, because bananadine doesn't exist, so it can't be prepared or smoked. Also, believed to be a hoax implies there is some doubt whether it is a hoax when it's a well documented fact that bananadine originated as a joke.

Removed the paragraph starting; Bananadine's creation is very simple. Bananadine's creation isn't simple, it's physically impossible, because it doesn't exist.

I think we should rather merge this article into the one on Hallucinogenic effects of banana peels, because the "existence" of bananadine substance relies on this story - Seth Nimbosa Seth Nimbosa 19 November 2006

• Oppose - Bananadine is the main subject, the Hallucinogenic effects should only be a sub-section of the main subject (along with history, etc). Regardless of the fact it's all a myth, to make Bananadine only a sub-section of Hallucinogenic effects of banana peels would be like having a main article entitled Hallucinogenic effects of LSD and then having the actual information about LSD listed within it. There's no logical reason to change the accepted format. 172.214.141.81 03:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
• Note - Seth Nimbosa went ahead and performed this merge even though I clearly opposed it and listed my reasons. WAvegetarian has now undone this contested merge and reinstated the original merge tags the way they were previously. Psychonaut3000 02:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

Merging Hallucinogenic effects of banana peels into Bananadine (ie the original merge proposal, before Seth Nimbosa altered the merge tags to reverse the direction of the move)

• Support - my reasons are the same as the oppose reasons for the previous (reverse) merge; Bananadine is the main subject, the Hallucinogenic effects should only be a sub-section of the main subject (along with history, etc). Regardless of the fact it's all a myth, to make Bananadine only a sub-section of Hallucinogenic effects of banana peels would be like having a main article entitled Hallucinogenic effects of LSD and then having the actual information about LSD listed within it. There's no logical reason to change the accepted format. (172.214.141.81 was my IP when didn't log in).
• Also, the Bananadine article was created in March 2005. Hallucinogenic effects of banana peels was only started 2 months ago and shouldn't have even been created as the information is much the same as the original article. Psychonaut3000 02:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Support: Bananadine is the proper subject; "Hallucinogenic effects of banana peels" would not be a viable subject if not for the myth. Punctured Bicycle 18:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

• I do apologize for not checking first with the community's reaction to my "proposal" :: to be honest, I was ignorant of the process..

I abstain now, for the purpose of promoting goodwill among Wikipedians. .: Seth Nimbosa :. 05:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC) However, I do not agree to Psychonaut's notion that subsuming Bananadine to Hallucinogenic effects is like

having a main article entitled Hallucinogenic effects of LSD and then having the actual information about LSD listed within it

first, because LSD refers to a real substance produced, unlike bananadine which is a joke from the start and non-existent second, the term Bananadine itself was not invented until one or 2 years after the myth on hallucinogenic effects of banana peels circulated ..That's all
