Internet stuttering

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Almost certainly a hoax. —Bkell (talk) 08:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - unsourced, and at worst a hoax or joke. - Richard Cavell (talk) 08:39, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - per above The Rolling Camel (talk) 09:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - spurious sources, probably a joke. Kafka Liz (talk) 11:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I was ready to hit the button, when I found a hit on Google Scholar linguistics study that mentions an Internet Stuttering Home Page. Unfortunately, the abstract cut off there and I don't have access to the full thing, but there may be an article in here. - Mgm|(talk) 11:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If I understand the reference correctly, it is referring to prolonged-speech resources mentioned in the Speak Easy Association's newsletter and on the Stuttering Home Page (on the Internet) located here. I don't think it's referring to the alleged phenomenon described in this article. Kafka Liz (talk) 11:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - per Richardcavell. Dengero (talk) 12:28, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoaxery, and I didn't stutter! MuZemike  ( talk ) 17:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * D-d-d-delete: per WP:HOAX. I can find no evidence that the single reference, "Stuttering: The Many Different Kinds by Ryan Simmons," even exists. Cosmic Latte (talk) 21:32, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - Likely hoax, or maybe a joke. David WS (contribs)  22:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as it appears to be a hoax. Majoreditor (talk) 05:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Definition is unclear and there are no 3rd party reliable references or psychological studies to make this anything but a probable hoax. - DustyRain (talk) 09:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I have never seen an article only three sentences long on Wikipedia (barring other AfDs). Most likely some person's idea of "funny", since I can't find any sources. gm_matthew (talk) 23:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
