Speedy deletion nomination of Gundlach's Law


Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Gundlach's Law, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * As reviewing administrator, I have read your pleas on the talk page and, rather doubtfully, declined the speedy deletion nomination as a hoax. Instead, I have nominated the article at Articles for deletion, formal notice below, which will start a debate lasting, normally, seven days, at the end of which an uninvolved administrator will decide what to do, basing his decision on the arguments advanced in terms of WP policies, not on a count of heads.


 * You wrote that you think the article meets the policy for neologisms: sorry, it doesn't, but it has more fundamental problems, because the sources you cite say mothing about Gundlach or his Law, nor do I find any confirmation by searching. Extracts from the relevant policies are:
 * WP:Verifiability: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."
 * WP:Notability requires showing significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.
 * WP:NAD: "Neologisms that are in wide use but for which there are no treatments in secondary sources are not yet ready for use and coverage in Wikipedia."
 * There is more explanation in Wikipedia is not for things made up one day . JohnCD (talk) 21:28, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Gundlach's Law for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gundlach's Law is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Gundlach's Law until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. JohnCD (talk) 21:28, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
