[edit] Splinter Theory

Splinter Theory (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Tagged by User:John Cross; I'm completing the nomination. This is a philosophical idea invented by a high school student, that according to the article "is not a well known theory, and has not yet been discovered by many people nor websites, thus making it fairly hard to track down". Clearly, any article about it could only be original research. —Celithemis 00:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy - Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day - and this article explicitly states that it was made up in school one day. Rklawton 01:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete This is pretty much the dictionary definition of something made up in school one day. Resolute 05:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete' Blatant OR full of personal opinions. Fails WP:N, WP:ATT, and WP:SCI. Even the statement this this could become popular is a personal opinion and fails WP:CRYSTAL. --EMS | Talk 15:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't want to dismiss the idea but the fact is that it has to be recognized outside Wikipedia before it becomes notable. Thanks to the user who completed the nomination.John Cross 18:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
