[edit] Awkward silence

Somewhere between original research, dictdef, and a joke (the example cited sounds like an inside joke between the author and the other sole editor). OhnoitsJamie^Talk 18:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I can believe that there may be some psycholinguistic research on this topic. But without any references, I have to believe that this article, as written, is a joke. If the authors can provide a citation to a peer-reviewed study, I would change my view. --Thunk 18:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and mark for cleanup. Could be good with some references and examples. Powers 19:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Can anyone provide a citation to a research paper on this topic? If not, delete the article as a private joke in a public forum.  (aeropagitica)  21:33, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• I can't imagine why this page would be deleted? Awkward silence is certainly a roundly acknowledged concept. Thesham69 02:53, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
