[edit] Light bubble

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

WP:OR. Google search comes up with zero references to such a technology, and indeed, the article itself says it is an "idea" for future space travel. The entire article discusses the concept in terms of "future" (lab tests would have the object...). Google search for "Light Bubble Space Travel" returns only Wikipedia articles. It is as yet, untested from what I can see, unverifiable, and no references since July. If indeed it is real, I'm sure the news will cover it, when that time comes. In the mean time, perhaps this is closer to a CSD issue, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Ariel♥Gold 02:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC) Ariel♥Gold 02:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

  • delete in the absence of any reliable sources to verify this. — brighterorange (talk) 02:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete As far as I can tell, "light bubble" in any scientific sense refers to an astronomical/optical phenomenon, not any kind of theory for space travel, as this article seems to suggest. I do not know enough about this subject, however, to recreate the article. That said, delete, of course leaving the option for a correct article to be created at a future date.

  • Delete - no reliable sources, seems likely to be OR. As for whether or not the technology is possible in the next decade, WP:NOT#CRYSTALBALL. -- MarcoTolo 03:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - No WP:RS, OR, WP:CBALL and possible hoax. KTC 04:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Sounds pretty silly to me. --GHcool 06:23, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Hahaha! Any person wich at least some scientific knowledge would instantly figure out this is a hoax a funny one at that but a hoax nevertheless. -- Caribbean~H.Q. 09:04, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as presumable hoax.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Patent nonsense. Delete, candidate for speedy deletion. - Mike Rosoft 14:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Billie Burke travelled on one of these in 1939, and Judy Garland commented on the speed of the device, stating "People come and go so fast around here." Burke died less than 31 years later. I enjoyed the last part of the article: "The technology is possible and could be made in the next decade." Time for this bubble to burst.

  • Delete per nomination, full of original research and may as well be a hoax. Burntsauce 16:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a hoax (unless the creator can produce a working prototype, in which case I will change my opinion to deletion under WP:OR). --EMS | Talk 20:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
