[edit] Chemitician

Contested prod. The original version was a patent neologism, and this new edition is still "not in the dictionary", which doesn't exactly fill me with great hope and joy. I asked the author (who had written a header saying that it wasn't a neologism) to address the inconsistent spelling, the lack of attribution of sources and the lack of dictionary presence. Such adressing of sources has now thrown up an obituary of the mysterious "Dr Barnes", who apparently did something like this in one of his postdoctoral positions (although there's no proof of what he did in these positions, other than that he had them). It's also thrown up a Friendster profile on which a woman lists one of the two spellings as her occupation, which doesn't really impress me, since I could list myself as a "historiologist" on a site like that but it wouldn't mean that such a job existed or had a consistent job description. The author requested another 5 days at the same time as he de-tagged the article, so here they are. BigHaz Schreit mich an 22:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - fails WP:V. The cited sources in the article are a bit dubious at best, and this term is simply no found in this usage through Google. -- Whpq 00:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I took the liberty of moving the comment to the talk page. Unless i9 misread, he seemed to be saying that he was trying to attract more people to the field. Fails V. :) Dlohcierekim 21:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete My organic chemistry friends have never heard of this term and as a medicinal chemist neither have I. In the article there is no mention of what they really do - what machines do they use that are so dangerous, and in what environment (e.g. academic vs industrial, physical vs organic vs inorganic).Lethaniol 18:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Real- I researched this topic and confered with my colleagues.We found no conclusive proof of the existence of this occupation at first. We then confered to our professor and told us that two of his colleagues he graduated with went on to be Chemiticians in laboratories in springfield,kansas and the other in oakland california. I was skeptical at first but i don't want to doubt my instructor or his colleagues professions. — 198.189.141.219 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
