How to know if someone is lying
An original research essay is not what Wikipedia is for. This is, or should be, covered at Lie and this article serves no use as a redirect as it is unlilely someone would search for this title. Harro5 02:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Would keep, but seems to be unsalvageable (is that a word?). At any rate (if it can not be merged/cleaned up or whatever - even though it sounds interesting) I say delete  ε  γκυκλοπαίδεια  *  (talk)  02:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment: "unsalvageable" is a word. I used it myself to advocate a deletion just minutes before I saw your use of it here.  However, if sources are referenced, I think it would be salvageable. Hu 03:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Unsourced and POV. People who have respiratory allergies scratch their noses often.  Does this make them habitual liars?  Nonsense. Durova 02:57, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The subject is better covered in the article on Lie anyway. -- Saikiri~ 03:04, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep: This is useful information, mostly common sense, some based on research which should be referenced.  Not much loss if it is deleted.  Hu 03:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, WP:NOR RasputinAXP  talk contribs 03:14, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete because if its common sense than it need not be on an encyclopedia, because its just telling readers stuff they already knew. Like Hu said, good to know, but like I say its not necessary in an encyclopedia. Croat Canuck 04:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - looks like an original essay for a college class rather than a publication. Not referenced, and a "how to..." which Wikipedia is not. B.Wind 04:53, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this persons term paper.--MONGO 09:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for want of verification. Gazpacho 10:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced OR. As far as I can tell much of it is wrong as well and it fails to mention one needs to study the subjects base behavior before trying to detect lying behavior. - Mgm|(talk) 16:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete: Original research. Further, it's at a non-encyclopedic lemma.  Geogre 20:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The answer to the title question is "When their lips are moving!", of course. :-)  But delete... WP:NOT a "how-to" essay collection. *Dan T.* 02:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
