non-notable artistic technique. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No vote, but the following comments in response to Akhilleus's comment on my User talk page: First of all, there's a thing called interlibrary loan. But in any case, your statement greatly disturbs me, not so much as it relates to a particular article, but how it relates to the development of Wikipedia as a whole. Is Wikipedia going to be simply developed from online sources because people claim they "don't have access" to books? If Wikipedia is developed without using books as sources, or used without using books as sources that someone "doesn't have access" to, whatever that means -- is it going to be restricted to the books on any given contributor's bookshelf? corner bookstore? local library? -- its development is going to be severely distorted and stunted. As valuable a tool as Google is, Wikipedia shouldn't simply be a Google rehash. Is anyone ever going to discuss any of this? --Daniel C. Boyer 14:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, looks like self-promotion. Ned Wilbury 16:26, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ned beat me to it: as I was about to add, this article seems like an attempt at self-promotion by User:Daniel C. Boyer, whom the article names as the creator of the technique. Most of the external links are to dictionaries of neologisms and slang, and some of these entries seem to have been written by none other than Daniel C. Boyer. He has also added some external links to his artwork . --Akhilleus (talk) 16:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
