Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Timepunk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article describes the terms Stonepunk, Bronzepunk, and Sandalpunk, as its primary thesis, but these terms are not in general use. The article therefore is primary research (see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, # 10) - proposing theories and defining new terms. Oliver Crow 08:36, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Original, fractious, and only people who already know what it is will search for it. Geogre 12:47, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: original research, term "timepunk" not in general circulation. Delete sandal-punk and clockpunk for the same reasons. However, steampunk and cyberpunk are widely used, so they should stay. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:28, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not going to try defending the stuff I made up, but I wonder about Clockpunk and Sandal-punk. I didn't make those up, and I think that they are starting to enter general circulation (thirty something results on Google for Clockpunk). I admit that Wikipedia is not the place to make things up (I'm sorry, I won't do it again) but Sandal-punk and Clockpunk are holding their own on the outside world, and as such have earned the right to be archived here. -Litefantastic 18:46, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete Timepunk, sandal-punk, and clockpunk. Neologisms of limited usage, and why does everything need its own "genre" anyway? -- Cyrius|✎ 20:29, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Article purports to discuss science fiction, which preassumes some authorship, yet (except for Jules Verne) no authors are mentioned. Delete as at best incomplete, at worst as original research. Denni☯ 23:45, 2004 Jul 3 (UTC)
- Apparently these terms were coined in a 2001 GURPS rulebook. Not widely used (Google turns up no results for clockpunk that aren't directly derived from GURPS Steampunk or Wikipedia), so delete (but, again, keep cyberpunk and steampunk). -Sean Curtin 04:42, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
