Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kinism

This page is an archive of the discussion surrounding the proposed deletion of the page entitled Kinism.

This page is kept as an historic record.

The result of the debate was to delete the article.

The page seems rather vague and there doesn't seem to be much evidence to support its existance as an established philosophy. Possibly irrelevant, but the external link tries to set some rather malwareish cookies, beware.
 * Keep: It does seem pretty vague but I liked the idea! Whoever wrote this please explain and expand or else it may be deleted! (Unsigned entry at 14:10, May 12, 2004 by User:62.255.32.8, the author of the page)
 * Keep, stub and list it as Pages needing attention. Alcarillo 17:50, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable unless this can be substantiated. It reads like ranting the way it stands. - Lucky 6.9 17:51, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless substantiated within the time period. Google search turns up 61 hits for "kinism" but only two were relevant and non-derivative ( and ) but neither have anything to do with the apparent definition in this article.  Rossami 19:05, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: Unsure. Those two hits do descibe something that may be encyclopedic, but they're the same text essentially, as is at least one other of the Google hits. Question is, is this a neologism, or is it a valid topic that just doesn't show up on the web yet? I can imgine why it might not show up, it is hardly politically correct and a bit obscure as well. Probably some dead tree research needed. Agree that the current article needs work. Andrewa 00:42, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just ran some searches on Lexis-Nexis and the like, and can't find any references in either the scholarly or popular press. RadicalSubversiv E 05:03, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, as it seems to be real, but add to Pages needing attention Burgundavia 06:50, May 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete! It's a vanity page.  Check the link at the bottom of the page.  Here's a quote from the website: "This is the main theory of the new economy and where you will find my original draft of Kin Economics. I do hope that you will read it, understand it and maybe even like it!"  There's more like that.  It's just a personal theory.  Now, there may be something legitimate that has this name, but if so it's not the subject of the current article. Isomorphic 18:07, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Well argued, Isomorphic. Andrewa 19:43, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Deus Ex 21:24, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. --Ben Brockert 23:00, May 13, 2004 (UTC)
