[edit] Little Rubber Feet

Salvaged from WP:PROD, nominated there by User:BlankVerse with reason I can't decide whether this is a hoax or original research, but either way it doesn't belong in the Wikipedia. I thought I'd let the good folks at AFD decide whether it's hoax or OR or neither. (That may be the first time I've used "or" three times in a row.) I guess treat BlankVerse's vote as to delete, but I have no opinion (yet).—msh210℠ 07:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as original research - the feet are real but this article is very very silly - Peripitus (Talk) 07:36, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as it is an old, but popular joke. -Sjledet 12:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Per Sjledet, and per Pebkac and RTFM. Perhaps these could all be merged together as sarcastic technobabble, but I'm not sure how at the moment. The Bruce 13:07, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - good spoof, but search results either seem to be wikipedia mirrors WP:OR or suggest a possible copyvio from anything that may be the original source. LRF is given as an acronym for "little rubber feet", so the term has some independent backup. Ace of Risk 13:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for WP:V. Clever, but no sources cited. Could be made into a real article I s'pose, but as written it's just an unverifiable joke. Scorpiondollprincess 14:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable OR. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 21:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment For what it's worth, I've actually had a technology sales associate comment on the "LRF Stabilization" of a Desktop computer, telling me that the one desktop with the larger "rubber feet" handled the computer's "natural vibrations" better which meant that overall it would run more smoothly. :p And no, I didn't buy from him. ;) Agne 03:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• ???? - WP:BJAODN candidate? a better fate than deletion. Ace of Risk 13:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• NUKE!. It's not funny enough for BJAODN. For those voting keep, I'll change my mind if you can expand the article, citing your sources. ^BlankVerse 06:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
