No proof is provided that there is such a concept, let alone that it is notable. Nyttend (talk) 12:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete No references, not notable, and possibly junk science if not a hoax. AlbinoFerret (talk) 12:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete The originator of the concept, Danny Bloom, has been spamming a huge range of newspaper comment pages, which complicates a search on the theory (at least he's using his own name). The most credible coverage I can find is a New York Times article, although there is a serious buzz in some of the more credible parts of the blogosphere. Still, until it gets some non-trivial coverage outside of this one-man campaign I don't think it meets WP:N. Debate (talk) 13:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No references, nothing! Fails WP:N. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 14:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete at this time, with no prejudice for reinstatement if notability requirements are met later. A cursory search returned quite a bit of a buzz in blogland, but I couldn't find much significant coverage, save the one NYTimes piece mentioned above by Debate -- and that article does note that Mr. Bloom is on a "one man campaign". This article should wait until coverage is more significant. Lazulilasher (talk) 21:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
  • G12 Speedy delete as clear copyright violation of this blog site: [1] The writer has copied and pasted large parts of this blog discussion to form this article. Secondly, a blog is not a WP:RS Artene50 (talk) 08:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
