Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khendon's Law

Khendon's Law was coined by one Jason Williams AKA Jason A Williams AKA Khendon and added to Wikipedia by user Khendon. It gets 820 hits on google. These arise out of wikipedia mirrors, and because one, or possible two Usenet users adopted the "law" as a sig; and hence each post of theirs has the "law" on it. It is a neologism, and a fairly crappy one at that. It appears to be, as Williams admits, a bid for fame. It has all the characteristics of something we do not want on Wikipedia ... vanity; neologism with scant evidence of uptake. --Tagishsimon


 * If we remove the postings by "john" on whch the law appears as a sig, we find it has been used 29 times since 2001. Would that class as notable? --Tagishsimon


 * Delete: Self-confessed "obscure" Internet saying. If it's obscure, it's not notable.  Besides, we can merely run our eyes up and down this page to see the same point made by a single user over and over again, and it's not over. Geogre 01:01, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable/use of Wikipedia for vanity purposes. Andris 01:02, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable vanity entry. &mdash;Stormie 01:52, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Godwin's law. Borderline. Andrewa 02:18, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete per findings above. Rossami 03:07, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Godwin's Law. It's about as notable as the other adages on that page, and the author points out that it is based on Goodwin's. -- Netoholic @ 04:12, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. A small injoke which doesn't spread isn't notable just because they try to spread it on the internet. Average Earthman 15:53, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. Has been here since 2002 and is an interesting piece of information. Pwaring 10:39, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism, vanity. Seems to be restricted to a couple of mailing lists for the Linux User Group of Davis, California.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 22:33, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete neologism vanity article. THe only reason it's been around since 2002 is that it appears no one's even been to the page until March 2004. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 03:14, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
