 * Weak keep Article must be deleted as it is copyvio from but content is legit and seems interesting, thus a summary could be made.  &mdash;This user has left wikipedia  20:11 2006-01-25
 * Comment: Google search showing 15 authoritative sources: to confirm its not bullocks.  &mdash;This user has left wikipedia  20:13 2006-01-25

 * comment The American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education mention the technique, so its not orig research and may well be notable as there are several article by different authors who all use the technique (indeed important enough to be used as a keyword). But is copyvio, so delete until a better article comes along. --Salix alba (talk) 01:21, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep A quick look around the internet seemed to indicate to me that the term/experiment is semi-widely used and known within the scientistic community, especially with regard to sleep deprivation studies. I'm not sure how there can be a copyright law on the concept since the simular situations can and do occur in nature and have been observed by multiple independent sources.

 * Keep I've now rewritten to avoid copyvio, notable as above. --Salix alba (talk) 00:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
