Mass vision

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

This page page violates WP:V and WP:RS by failing to provide sources, it also fails to assert its own WP:Notability for inclusion. In fact, it provides no information whatsoever verifying "Mass vision" as being a genuine term. Everything covered here is also covered under Mass hysteria, which is a widely used and verifiable term.

Mass vision also violates WP:NPOV by failing to provide any critical analysis of mass vision.

 * Delete: Unsourced, does nothing to verify the existence of the term or its notability, covers only what is already covered in more depth elsewhere. - perfectblue 12:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * keep: page needs work, but not the same as mass hysteria. mass hysteria is anxiety. mass vision is unexplaned event, witnessed by many - statues moving ect. very common. keep keep keep. (Unsigned comment by Spencerk
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * delete: no reliable third-party sources, does not verify notability. CapitalSasha ~ talk 13:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources, adds nothing to Mass hysteria, poorly written, no references... Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk to me)  13:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Editors might want to bear in mind that the original title of this page, before a bogus copy-and-paste "move" by (which I've just fixed in order to restore GFDL compliance), was mass hallucination, which, unlike Spencerk's chosen name of "mass vision", is a widely-used name for a concept.

 * Delete Mass hallucination, or mass hysteria, is the correct term. The statues don't move, the sun does not stop in the sky, this article attempts to give bogus respectability to such nonsense. Nick mallory 14:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mass hallucination should redirect to Mass hysteria and not here.  If there are concerns of re-created then this should be re-created after deletion as a redirect to Mass hysteria as well, and salted.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 16:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Howard Bloom actually argues that "Reality is a mass hallucination", and as pointed out above there are other sources around. In my opinion, the term should at least lead somewhere, whether our collective mind here deems the current article salvageable or not, but I would suggest to move it back and continue editing from there. --Tikiwont 13:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * note - agreed. name of page doesnt matter to me, whatever is more npov - Mass vision or mass hallucination or something else. point is, there is not a page for this, when lots of people see something weird. lets make it. Spencerk 01:56, 17 June 2007 (UTC) p.s. im not a hippy.
