[edit] UKSPI

  • Delete - This page was added by User:Anglokurisu who has simply added the same link to UKSPI to a range of pages related to the paranormal, UKSPI is obviously an organisation he/she has affiliation with. Therefore this page is simply self-promotion and of no value to Wikipedia. Solar 00:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - UKSPI is concerned with research within the paranormal, and is recognised by a number of institutions include Universities in the UK. Other people who are affiliated with the paranormal have added their own articles such as Jason Karl and Phil Wyman, all of which are no long affilated with the paranormal. Also UKSPI was the only research group added to the links, the rest were from information relayed from the research conducted by organisations such as UKSPI. UKSPI is relevant to Wikipeida as it fields research into the paranormal, not only by existance of ghosts, but also the on going psychological study of paranormal experiences in the UK. This is not against the Wikipedia rules as the theories and ideas have not been added to Wikipedia. - Anglokurisu

[edit] Sockpuppet or Anonymous Votes and Comments

  • Keep - UKSPI seems to have a lot of information on their website that could be vital to people studying or researching the paranormal. I do not believe this is self advertising, they are trying to help others by sharing their information and facts. They are one of the only paranormal links on this website that have such information avaliable to anyone who may need it.

UKSPI is a non-profit research group from he United Kingdom, and aims to answer one of the most debated questions through self-funded research. Spiritseekers are also linked on the paranormal webpage, yet only have 15 memebers.

  • Keep - This page does have significance to the field of paranormal research. There are a large number of groups who have their links on several paranormal groups, and from looking at their website they seem to be the only group with any sort of scientific research into the paranormal. I have seen other groups who are just as official as them such as Torro, who have been allowed to keep their page on there. It maybe self promotion, but it appears as if their research is vital to the paranormal field.
  • Do Not Delete- UKSPI seems to have a lot of information on their website that could be vital to people studying or researching the paranormal. I do not believe this is self advertising, they are trying to help others by sharing their information and facts. They are one of the only paranormal links on this website that have such information avaliable to anyone who may need it.
This comment is by user:Evenstarbabe, who has no other edits. She is certainly a sock-puppet, thus this vote is discounted. -- Zanimum 15:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I will delete the article, nothing is worth this hassle. I believe UKSPI to have significance to Wikipedia, but it appears that a large well known English Organisation cannot be added onto Wikipedia. I believe this to be a mass injudice, but I will no longer risk the professionalism of UKSPI but arguing with the members of Wikipedia. I am deleting the article now. So don't bother with the voting, enough people view our website on a much more dignified website such as Google, who have always been supportive of us.

Google records everything. It doesn't support anything (ignoring Google.org). There's simply no way to verify the information. Sorry. -- Zanimum 21:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
