[edit] Pinball Theory

Pinball Theory (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)
I put a proposed deletion tag on this with this reason:

No evidence that this theory ever existed - see Google web, scholar, books and news results.

An IP user removed the prod tag so it has to go to AfD because it is contested, even though someone else reverted the removal. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:01, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, utter bollocks. There may be an obscure physics joke in here; Buchdahl was a phenomenologist who wrote a noted article on atomic theory, but did not propose his own theory so far as I can tell. --Dhartung | Talk 20:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Original Research with no reliable sources and does not make any sense unless you are a Pinball Wizard!?!? --Pmedema (talk) 21:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Internally inconsistent: this article claims that "J. Mueller" is a pseudonym for Buchdahl, who died in 2001, but the article Jay Mueller (currently WP:PROD tagged) claims that Mueller is still alive (and was born in 1978). At least pick a story and stick to it, people. Zetawoof(ζ) 22:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:CB --- Taroaldo (talk) 07:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:MADEUP --- I suspect that this is a hoax by some students of Mr. Mueller. Bm gub (talk) 19:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm amazed there is no speedy tag of some sort in the pages history. --BrucePodger (talk) 23:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
