Ordinary Design Theory
Ordinary Design Theory has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this information might be based on your own conclusions or research, rather than published ideas. Please review No original research for the relevant policy. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so, citing sources.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Articles for deletion for consensus.

 * Whoa...that was a lot of information...I'm not the one who proposed the article for deletion, so you don't really have to convince me. Actually, if you feel compelled to explain yourself, that would be an excellent use for the article's talk page.  Your explanations seem to imply that you invented this term...that would be a problem, but perhaps it can be fixed by moving the page to a title that you didn't originate.  The guideline for that particular concern is at WP:NEO.


 * I know it sometimes bites that Wikipedia has a no original research policy, but, as you probably read at the policy page, it's because Wikipedia doesn't have an academic peer review process--we just don't have the expertise to separate out the crackpots. We just have to rely on things that have already been published.


 * Anyway, you've stopped the deletion process by removing the prod notice. It could still get sent to WP:AFD if an editor isn't satisfied it meets Wikipedia guidelines, but you'd get a chance to defend it.  I hope I'm being somewhat helpful.  Let me know if I can do anything for you. NickelShoe (Talk) 04:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
