Kincaid complex

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

Declined speedy nomination. Original nominator stated "blatant hoax/vandalism". SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Original nominator here. I can't find any ghits indicating that a "Kincaid complex" (or Kincaidian Complex) exists.  Certainly not what the original editor claims.  This may just be WP:MADEUP, of course.  --Mr. Vernon (talk) 09:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. This presents a possible BLP issue, since the alleged complex is (without explanation or sources) named for author James Kincaid, who would doubtfully endorse the term himself.   siℓℓy rabbit  (  talk  ) 09:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If Kincaid didn't originate this concept, it's original research.  If he did, WP:FRINGE applies because the theory has no reliable source coverage outside his book.  Baileypalblue (talk) 09:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: It has been three days since this user, the page creator, offered to add independent reliable sources verifying the notability of the theory. The user has made no such additions either here or in the article; barring further change, I think this can be viewed as confirmation of the theory's FRINGE status.
