[edit] Urrealism

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

This fits the textbook definition of something "made up in school one day." Specifically, made up by one F. C. Reynolds, a high school teacher in or near Cleveland. The tone of the article is not encyclopaedic, it reads more as an advocacy piece for the group and its philosophy. There is no evidence offered of the notability of this ersatz "movement," indeed, most of the content of the article has to do with Surrealism, of which Urrealism considers itself a "deepening." It was prodded twice ([[1]] and [[2]]) not long after its creation, and both times, the prod notice was removed with little improvement being made to the article. It still reads as an essay. Delete as unreferenced, nonnotable, and nonencyclopaedic. RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 16:29, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as an essay for a subject that isn't notable anyway. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Further to the nomination: It appears, from the citations, that the content that isn't about surrealism is based upon a "private e-mail message", and is thus unverifiable. Uncle G (talk) 17:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unverifiable, and probably made up. Malinaccier (talk) 17:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. G search shows a lot of hits for "unrealism", but they have nothing to do with the topic of this article. Though one wonders if this article is itself unreal, and perhaps proof of its own exist ... nevermind. LonelyBeacon (talk) 19:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
