[edit] Adam's rule

This looks like a neologism, and probably vanity too - created by User:Adamgoldberg. Further, it's a non-memorable statement of a pretty basic, non-unique idea. Cdc 22:20, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Just a re-stating of the basic premise of laissez-faire capitalism, applied specifically to television receiver equipment. Not notable. Delete. Ливай | ☺ 00:58, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as awkward deep thoughts and bad economics. Quality in the marketplace is determined by the conjunction of price and an operating standard that meets actual demand (the resulting quality may be dreadful or superlative)... moreover, certain mandated quality standards are economically and otherwise justified on the basis of public safety... less than nothing to see here. Worse, the user has named the article after himself. Vanity. Wyss 03:10, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable restatement of a well-known concept. And if it wasn't, it'd be original research and deletable. --fvw* 17:09, 2005 Jan 3 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity neologism. Jayjg | (Talk) 18:47, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
