• There is no reliable source backing its addition to that article, which btw, is largely an uncited essay. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

It's not something that would be published in peer reviewed journals ... what sources are normally used for the various types - or area's - of articles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fenke (talk • contribs) 21:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

This type of article does not require a peer-reviewed source to establish notability; Google verifies that there is *no* reliable source using the term other than a couple of blog/forum mentions. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
