[edit] Surviving Bears

While I'm sympathetic to the goal of helping people survive a bear attack, Wikipedia is not an instruction manual Johntex\^talk 00:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Hmmm. This thing gets weirder as it goes on. WP:NOT an instruction manual, but this has very little "instruction" at all. Perhaps it's creator needs a "Surviving Wikipedia" article- or would it get eaten by a bear? :)--Sean Jelly Baby? 00:27, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Original research on the running-past-someone-else-and-geting-the-lazy-bear-to-eat-them-instead method. Has this been tested by reputable researchers? How do I know if I can trust this information when the time comes?--Pharos 00:35, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This is clearly a joke. Eric119 03:20, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Save OMG, please don't delete this quite yet. I need it on Thursday (9/29/05) for a quick school project. After that I guess its alright to delete. I didn't think anyone would mind if it was up for a day or two. My directions were to use this site specifically. Sorry for offending you...--creator 23:29, 28 September 2005 (PST)
  • It'll be listed here for five days anyhow, so you're fine, but that raises another question: What was the school project, from what school? We like to keep track of schools using Wikipedia (see WP:SUP), both for general interest and to make sure schools' and Wikipedia's goals converge. — mendel ☎ 16:45, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to wikibooks. I have a book that has information by reputable researchers on how to survive bear attacks, so a how-to guide can be written. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. But this particular presentation clearly doesn't have reputable information, so I don't see why you would support a transwiki.--Pharos 18:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Another well known bear survival method is to escape in your rocket and land on the moon. Send to WP:BJAODN. --Meiers Twins 10:36, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If it is still needed for school it's archived at Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense/Surviving Bears --Optichan 18:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable and encyclopedic -WindFish 05:24, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
