Conformist Rebellion
This has to be original research. N (t/c) 11:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I removed the PROD as it did come up with a few google hits, and wondered if a better article could be written with this title. Probably not though, and I don't think existing article should stay (per nom). Petros471 11:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The facts that the article states that this concept was invented by Ian Nordstrom, that the article was created and mostly written by (who states on xyr user page that xe is "the leader of the Conformist Rebellion"), and that that editor states that xe "disliked most of the students in his school and other schools in Washington, although he lives in Washington", lead inevitably to the conclusion that this is original research, an idea that someone made up in school one day, and decided to publish on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day.  The place for this is the creator's own web site, not Wikipedia.  Yes, there are occasional mentions of "conformist rebellion" here and there, but they are mainly like this web page, which has remained empty for four years. There is no source material for an encyclopaedia article on this subject, and Wikipedia is not a venue for publishing such source material. Delete. Uncle G 14:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Uncle G. The Conformist Rebellion was a movement created in December 2005 by Ian Nordstrom. This movement represented the ideas that teenagers have continually rebelled against everything mainstream until no one followed the mainstream.  This clear, lucid, and likeable prose shows that what follows is original research.  Best wishes to Mr. Nordstrom, and hope that he continues to contribute. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This appears to be a small movement within one particular school (or possibly slightly larger but still objectively tiny area). Heck, I'd love for this to catch on and become notable as a youth subculture (the "I want to be a non-conformist—exactly like everyone else!" attitude of most deserves to be mocked, and harshly) but at this point, that is sadly not so. --Icarus (Hi!) 16:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Definitely OR, a google search for "Ian nordstrom" only returns mirrors of this article that have any relevance. GrahameS 17:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
