A minor, long-forgotten usenet neologism/in-joke coined by Babylon 5 fans, based on a post made by J. Michael Straczynski one day. Impossible to verify except by sifting the posts themselves. Fails almost every guideline you could care to mention. Nydas (Talk) 22:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The subject isn't notable, it's also unverified. So I suggest deletion. I (talk) 01:24, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete rabidly. Simply unnotable in-jokery. --Dhartung | Talk 03:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The Vorlons have a question. The Shadows have a question.  Lorien has several questions.  I have a question, too:  "Who documented this in depth outside of Wikipedia and where was it documented?".  The answer appears to be, from my research: "1 person, ever, by the name of Steven Orso, on a short WWW page.".  Reliability of web pages as sources aside, this isn't enough sourcing to support a whole article.  (Indeed, the article is longer than that 1 source itself is, with much of the article being original research, that isn't supported at all by any sources anywhere.)  There's no evidence that anyone other than that 1 person has ever documented this, thus demonstrating that it is both notable and an idea that has actually escaped its creators and been acknowledged by the rest of the world; and there are no supporting sources for ensuring that an article on this subject is neutral and accurate.  1 short source is not enough.  The PNC is not satisfied.  Delete. Uncle G (talk) 13:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
