Talk:Mystery meat navigation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems that this page have been creted to sustain the use of the term mmn by flanders in his own blog abount worst web pages ever, so is kinda... ... DELETE!

Although it may have been coined & popularised by Flanders, it is still a valid term. Leave the page alone. —85.210.160.193 15:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Fairly obviously a cheap gimimck to popularise Flanders' catch phrase. Wikipedia is not a promotional tool... why on earth would a buzzword warrant its own encyclopedia page? At best this should be a footnote attached to a page on web page design flaws.

I took note of what was said on this talk page, and thus I added the prod template to this page for it's deletion. However... possibly it is worthy of being kept, thus I made sure to mention this and requestion their attention on the three users who seemed to me to have made the most significant contribution to this article in the past.

This new buzzword/term is not in general use, and is simply a "vanity meme" that it's author wants to popularize the easy way (i.e. by gaming Wikipedia). It should be deleted. -- Cwiltgen 00:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Do you know were there term "Gen X" came from? How about "Web 2.0?" Or how about the phrase "he went postal"? One was an author, one was a public speaker and one was started in the press. Who's to say MMN is not going to be "the term"? By the way, I had heard it used prior to discovering this website. So maybe it already is.

Perhaps some links to articles written by someone other than Flanders would help validate the significance of the article. 69.3.237.143 13:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I've yet to find one other reputable source that uses this term. This is clearly a ploy to popularize the phrase, and as such it does not merit its own page, if it should be included anywhere on the site at all. It is little more than thinly-veiled advertisement, and should be removed on those grounds.--128.113.137.100 (talk) 04:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I was about to tag it for AfD, but Google Books' hits for the term are just too much for me to want to do that.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 02:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

But are those hits necessarily secondary sources? Obviously, I wouldn't call Google Books into question here, but bear in mind that Flanders is an author. Of course Google Books would regurgitate results based on that term, because they bear direct relevance on the primary source to begin with.--128.213.51.156 (talk) 18:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
