[edit] 1% rule

Original research, no sources, self-referential. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 22:02, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This article doesn't even make any sense. -- Kicking222 22:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, while there are apparently many references to a "one percent rule" out there, none of them seem to correspond to this definition. It just seems to be a common label for just about anything. Really bad example used here as well; doesn't seem to match the proposed definition. Kuru ^talk 22:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Original research abakharev 23:20, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research, and as fuzzy version of a topic that is much better dealt with under Pareto principle and Pareto distribution. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per annoying de-prodder nom. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 01:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no citations probably made-up. Cedars 06:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Though I created this I can offer no defence of it. I thought is had a wider use but cannot find any. Lumos3 09:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Not sure if this needs an article, but I researched this (gasp) and the "1% rule" has been written about quite a bit in articles and blogs recently. Once such example is here, which is a good one because it cites the book where the research originated, The Wealth of Networks (amazon.com). The premise is that in any online contributor-based community (such as Wikipedia), 1% of the userbase makes the majority of contributions. Aguerriero (talk) 20:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Pareto principle, which this seems to be an more extreme (less believable) version of. Maybe we could merge some content and mention the 1% rule in Pareto principle? -GTBacchus^(talk) 01:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete - patent nonsense relating to Wikipedia. Stevage 16:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
