[edit] Digital trail

Digital trail (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

A neologism referring to technological paranoia. Despite numerous references, the article still reads like a synthesis of information and speculation that runs afoul of WP:NOR. Prod removed by author. Danny Lilithborne 00:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

• Rewrite The concept itself is real, and this particular term does have established usage (For example, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Internet" and plenty more [1]. Still, the article itself could use a fair bit of work, so I do agree it should be rewritten. Possibly redirected if there's an already existing page that will serve the purpose better.

• Delete as OR. As an expression this is of passing importance. Mostly this is already covered in e.g. internet privacy. --Dhartung | Talk 05:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Would you support that for a redirect then? FrozenPurpleCube 16:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - original research. MER-C 07:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:OR. Terence Ong 09:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/Rewrite - Real concept, studied parts of it in an computer ethics class. Is some original research but has some citations at the bottom. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/Rewrite - Real Concept...in-line citations would be nice. Tag as controversial? SERSeanCrane 22:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete/Rewrite - Perhaps a valid concept. However, far too much OR here so shouldn't be allowed to stand as-is. Should at least be pared down to a stub. --Jackhorkheimer 22:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete/Rewrite The concept sounds familar, but something here sounds like WP:NOR or WP:COPY. I'm not sure, though. I think that either a rewrite or a delete is in order. --Sbrools ^{(talk . contribs)} 04:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
