[edit] The Santa Claus Thesis

The Santa Claus Thesis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I would tag it as nonsense, except that there actually are scientists making studies like this. This one, however, is unsourced. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 22:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

  • i agree, it is obvioulsy nonsence. it is also imporant to note that
  1. the thesis was never published
  2. the thesis was written by middle school students (who probably wrote this article making it a conflict of interests)

And

  1. the author's parents "confiscated" the thesis making any proof that the paper is real not likely. it is a joke article written by some middile school kid with too much time on his/her hands. it should be deleted.

  • Strong delete, possibly a G3 (blatant vandalism) or G1 (nonsense) but I'm not quite certain. Nonetheless, I agree with Ryan Shell above, this was probably written a middle school kid one day, looking to make his/her mark on Wikipedia.

  • Coal in stocking I agree with your social studies teacher. What a delightful holiday story, however. Perhaps if it was set to music, it can be a Christmas carol, but be respectful if you elect to rhyme "thesis" with "Jesus".—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandsford (talk • contribs)
