Should "Judy Burgoon" be spelt "Judee Burgoon"? See this Google search --Finbarr Saunders 08:26, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plez renominate for AfD

See the byline in this article and then see this page. I think it should be obvious that for some reason the original AfD reached an incorrect result (no conclusion) and that in fact this article clearly violates WP:NOR.

I tried to renominate it myself, following the rather unclear directions on the AfD page, but this was a disaster, so if anyone who knows how to renominate an article agrees with what I said above, please go ahead. ---CH 17:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

A quick Google search shows that "expectancy violations" is a legitimate theory that extends beyond whatever Judy Burgoon thinks about it, so there's probably an article to be written here. However, Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a repository for someone's personal paper about the topic. Since this AFD closed in September with a result of no consensus (save that it needs to be cleaned up), and since the nobody has done any work on it at all, rather than renominating for AFD I'm going to redirect the article to Communication theory. If somebody wants to come along and create the article from scratch they still can, we get rid of publicizing someone's paper as the end all and be all of the theory, and avoid another 5-day AFD vote. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 17:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
