[edit] "the jennings effect"

A non-notable meme first uttered less than an hour prior to the creation of the article. Zoe 23:03, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. If that doesn't classify as a neologism, I don't know what does. --IByte 23:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. A massive thousand people movement within a day?, and how would you even know if a person (neverless 1000 people) quit smoking in that time? →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 23:51, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete obvious neologism Soltak 23:52, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wishful thinking. -- BD2412 talk 01:00, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as above. Osomec 06:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as day-old neologism. ral315 14:40, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Peter Jennings. Many people indeed have quit smoking following the death of Peter Jennings (for example, this news article [1]), but I'm not sure this needs its own article. --Revolución (talk) 00:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Another page created two days later [Jennings Effect] attracted no such discussion. Interesting ...

    • This page did not assert that thousands of people quits smoking, it simply said discussion of quitting was higher. Also, this page clearly makes the page in question obsolete, as it is better written and less presumptuos. Before someone suggests it, no redirect, because who is going to type in "The Jennings Effect", before Jennings Effect. →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 15:58, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
