[edit] Symetrism

Non-notable political ideology. Probably with no existence outside the life of User:Symetrist. -- RHaworth 20:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• I (the author of this article) am insulted by the presumption of these pseudo intellectuals. Just because YOU haven't heard of something does not mean it is a hoax. YOU are neither omniscient nor are you by any means an absolute authority. tell me this...aside from having a bunch of people flood wikipedia with requests for this...how would you suggest I prove symetrism is a valid political ideology? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Symetrist (talk • contribs) 18:05, February 8, 2006.

Please note the use of the word possible. Without verification, there is no reason to assume that you are not trying to create a concept for the purposes of self-aggrandizement or plain tomfoolery. Anyway, if you have created it, it violates WP:NOR; if you have not, it needs sources. Until such point as you can bring adequate and verifiable sources, it is a possible hoax. My apologies for inadvertantly hurting your feelings. -- Avi 03:56, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Avi and per AfD etiquette vio by Symetrist. --Aaron 23:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't be hard on the guy - his comment is no more a violation of etiquette than calling the idea a no-brainer. Symetrist: how do you prove it? I will weaken the criterion I gave on your talk page - have a Symetric Party candidate stand at any election and receive more than a derisory number of votes. -- RHaworth 01:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, made-up ideology with 40 Google hits, the first of which is a Yahoo! profile. Adrian Lamo ·· 00:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Google search for Symetrism "flat income tax" yeilds no results; article's author gives a link to what he describes as "the only symetrism website I've seen" and it's on Geocities. (Even the most lunatic-fringe political groups that I've encountered manage to shell out seven bucks a year for a URL.) Plus, the article has already been userfied Ergot 01:38, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
