Focus-Metaphor
Hello. I see you've recently created the above article. However, on reading the edit history, it appears to be based on your Msc Thesis, which unfortunately would count as orignal research, which can't be used in wikipedia. WP:NOR outlines that offical policy on why original research is not allowed, I'd also recommend reading as much of the above information as it will reduce any possible confusion in the future.

If the above is original research, it would be appreciated if you bring it to the attention of admins by adding to the article, which will allow them to remove it.

I've added the standard welcome template above to fill you in on all wiki guidelines and policies, hope this start won't put you off. Regards, MartinRe 16:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hello. Unfortunately, as it does appear to me that the above article is original research, I have nominated the article for deletion, you are welcome to join the discussion at Articles for deletion/Focus-Metaphor. Regards, MartinRe 11:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, Slaqua, please see my comment on the deletion discussion page, after your explanations. I'm still not quite sure if the article can be saved, but I might reconsider. Take care, Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Focus-Metaphor article deletion
Hi Slaqua, my decision to delete the article was based on consensus. Practically everyone not involved with the article voted for its deletion. Most telling is that one person changed his vote to a Delete even after your rewrite. Sorry, I closed the AfD as a neutral party, and I don't see any mistakes in my closure. If you believe the process wasn't followed, you are welcome to contest my decision at WP:DRV (I just ask that you let me know if you do so), but to be honest, I think I followed process and didn't make any mistakes. It's unlikely a DRV will succeed. You're welcome to try, if you wish. --Deathphoenix ʕ 00:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
