[edit] Encyclopedia of Everything

It doesn't feel right. I think it's making a claim I haven't heard before, and I think it's POV. I also suspect a hoax, a crystal ball and a point. I'm probably dull and boring too, but so be it. I'll rise to the bait. Steve block talk 14:43, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I can't find any references which indicate that this idea has been discussed outside of the article in question, making it original research. Besides, Gödel's incompleteness theorem makes such an encyclopedia impossible, since it could not possibly describe itself in complete detail. Pburka 15:20, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Pburka --TimPope 15:46, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I created the article, no, there wasn't any research behind it, no, it isn't a widely accepted idea. But why not create the idea ourselves, and make our own phrase, or own sentiment? If we all added parts to it, it could become a good principle. Tim 18:58, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as OR per author. Sdedeo 19:28, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Personal essay, original research. Or, redirect to Internet Archive; if we assume that Encyclopedia of Everything is not meant literally (and therefore not subject to Pburka's objection), I don't see much difference between this proposal and what the Internet Archive is project is actually trying to do.

• Delete, as per Tim's verification that the information is original research. Zoe 22:14, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
• This is an opinion piece, such as it is. Redirect to Everything2, which seems to want the job. Denni☯ 22:16, 2005 August 28 (UTC)
• Delete original research - Wiki isn't the place to create ideas :) Ziggurat 22:46, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Wikipedia:No original research. I've also just removed it's main inward link, which was an assertion on Wikipedia:About that this is what Wikipedia aims to be - which I don't think is really true, as Wikipedia has been careful to define what it is, and what it will exclude. - IMSoP 12:34, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
