Clark's Law

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Rather nice little adage, actually, but nevertheless something that someone made up. The sources listed are all self-published sources ie. chatrooms etc. and I've been unable to find any direct, detailed coverage of this concept in reliable sources. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  voice vote  ─╢ 17:06, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete (not worth merging) - there are conspicuously few references to 'Clark's law' in reliable sources (that are about this adage). I wouldn't object to a brief mention of it in Hanlon's razor (which it resembles) or perhaps Clarke's three laws, but we should find an actual reliable source before doing so.

 * Delete and concur there is nothing worth merging as there isn't really coverage about this "law" -- Whpq (talk) 17:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
