[edit] HUMANICS

HUMANICS (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This claims to be a field of scientific study. It appears to be "something made up one day." The supposed founder of this discipline has the same name as the page's originator. It has been speedied before, but this version sounds less like out-and-out nonsense. Deranged bulbasaur 05:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

  • This claims to be a field of scientific study. (This subject shall be of great use for all humans). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.1.109 (talk • contribs) 06:01, May 22, 2007
    • Somehow I doubt that. Deranged bulbasaur 06:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No sources, made by a single purpose account. Seems to be a non-notable neologism (or nnn for short). Charlie 06:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, maybe speedy as nocontext. The problem is that the entry is strictly a dicdef of a term that was apparently just made up (perhaps a marketing term?), doesn't provide any information whatsoever of what this discipline is all about, and google doesn't turn u anything about a scientific discipline named humanics. Seems to be little more than a buzzword or a brand name. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Google reveals that the term is something like a trade name used by a number of HR or similar organiations. Minimal ghits for "Rajesh Godse", and not clear that even they all all for the same person. BTLizard 10:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. "nnn" per Charlie. "the phenomenon of human leaning"?? sure to be an interesting field. tomasz. 20:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Look up the term "Humanics" under Webster Dictionary or even dictionary.com -- \Hu*man"ics\, n. The study of human nature. [R.] --T. W. Collins. It's not a marketing term. Prominent institutions in Higher Education sport this philosophy in their mission statements and course work. It does require much needed cleanup and better citations. It probably could even be merged as a field under Sociology. User:Mpicart 23:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete as per above discussion. Pure bunk. Bearian 17:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Cleaned up article. Removed scientific references since Humanics is abstract and not easily definable. Put up links with humanics references including definition. Article is in need of more information. 12.32.99.60 12:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Iamunknown 18:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The article is improved over what it was when it was nominated, but it's not even at stub-quality right now, merely a DicDef. It could be an valid article, but there's no point keeping it in its current form. Flyguy649talkcontribs 19:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
