Conference Theory

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

As this article cites no references, it fails WP:V. A Google search yields no results that back up the claims made in this article. I think that would qualify this article as original research, which violates WP:NOR. The origin of the term, as I understand it, is a made up theory used by video game players to explain how they were beaten by a supposedly less skilled opponent. However, as there are no scientific studies or data to back this assertion up, it clearly fails the criteria for inclusion. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 13:37, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. WP:OR. No WP:RS. --Evb-wiki 13:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Ioeth, a non-notable bit of jargon about a video game. Not sure how they got from what the article is supposed to be about to the English words of the title, either. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As per my contested prod, "No claim of notability in article, and no sources offered to show notability. First several pages of non-wiki ghits rarely use this term in this sense, and then only in blogs." --Fabrictramp 13:58, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Apparently OR and unverifiable. Dylan 15:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SCHOOL.--SarekOfVulcan 19:07, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you mean WP:NFT? --Ioeth (talk contribs friendly)  —Preceding comment was added at 19:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Thanks for the correction.--SarekOfVulcan 20:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:OR. Bjewiki 21:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article was mentioned in an Irish magazine. Please leave the legal mumbo jumbo out of this. No-one talks like you lot do. MagicMons 12:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC) — MagicMons (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * I propose a new vote and blanking of the current votes due to the fact that a new source has been added. Ioeth has accused me of vandalism also, which is grossly unfair. MagicMons 13:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The AfD process is not a vote; it's a discussion. Please see Articles_for_deletion and Articles_for_deletion. Improvements are (and have been) considered. Thanks. --Evb-wiki 15:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. I couldn't find any evidence of notability for this term, and if the cited source is this Village Magazine, then my search didn't turn up any article on this subject there, either. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * And even if we did find it there, a mention in a single magazine isn't a convincing argument for notability.--Fabrictramp 16:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete- It's crap (and also the author keeps removing tags and it making false hrassment reports)! Yourname 01:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism. Belongs in Wiktionary. Mdmkolbe 22:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable and unverifiable. Hut 8.5 16:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
