Digital trail

 * — (View AfD)

A neologism referring to technological paranoia. Despite numerous references, the article still reads like a synthesis of information and speculation that runs afoul of WP:NOR. Prod removed by author. Danny Lilithborne 00:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Rewrite The concept itself is real, and this particular term does have established usage (For example, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Internet" and plenty more . Still, the article itself could use a fair bit of work, so I do agree it should be rewritten.  Possibly redirected if there's an already existing page that will serve the purpose better.

 * Delete as OR. As an expression this is of passing importance. Mostly this is already covered in e.g. internet privacy. --Dhartung | Talk 05:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Would you support that for a redirect then? FrozenPurpleCube 16:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - original research. MER-C 07:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:OR. Ter e nce Ong 09:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep/Rewrite - Real concept, studied parts of it in an computer ethics class. Is some original research but has some citations at the bottom.  -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep/Rewrite - Real Concept...in-line citations would be nice. Tag as controversial? SERSeanCrane 22:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete/Rewrite - Perhaps a valid concept. However, far too much OR here so shouldn't be allowed to stand as-is.  Should at least be pared down to a stub.  --Jackhorkheimer 22:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete/Rewrite The concept sounds familar, but something here sounds like WP:NOR or WP:COPY. I'm not sure, though.  I think that either a rewrite or a delete is in order. --Sbrools ( talk  .  contribs ) 04:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
