[edit] Curry Lines

Nonsense - should be a speedy delete. -- RHaworth 18:39, 2005 July 12 (UTC)

• Speedy. As per above. Gwk 18:50, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
• Comment This is not a valid candidate for speedy delete. This is a perfectly valid entry based on a perfectly crackpot theory. Argue that it's poorly formatted and non-encyclopedic all you like, but that's a reason for deletion, not speedy deletion. 302 hits on Google doesn't seem to support keeping it, IMHO, but either way it should get its 5 days as a real topic of questionable notability. -Harmil 19:53, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
• OK then, delete, crackpot non-notable theory --Doc (?) 21:53, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep "Crackpot" theory or not, there are enough Google hits, as Harmil pointed out, that it is a theory with some following. You may think Scientology or Creationism are crackpot theories, but we still document their existence.

• Delete. Notable crackpottery, yes; non-notable crackpottery, no. --Calton | Talk 06:22, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
• Comment [1] 1190 google hits (more often referred to as curry grids, apparently), not that it makes a difference. Wikipedia seems mainly to keep crackpottery based on attracting a POV, like Pathogenic theory of homosexuality --Tabor 18:47, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Even including "curry grid" there's only 265 displayed hits[2]. Yeah, we host more than our share of crackpot theories, but this one doesn't seem widely held enuf. Maybe there's somewhere we can redir this to, to discourage article recreation? Dunno if Ley lines is close enuf. Niteowlneils 00:13, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
