Phantom Mobile Device Vibration Syndrome
Per WP:OR, or, if not that, WP:NEO. Article feels extremely "hoaxey", two (unreliable) sources cited, and a Google search for this exact phrase turns up nothing. Skipped ProD process to allow appropriate discussion. A potential candidate for WP:BAD. Green451 02:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:OR. And the sentence It is not known how many people experience these phantom sensations in their left or right thighs... clarifies it's non-notability and OR (also with unreliable sources). Cheers -- Imo  eng  02:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, probably WP:OR by a student, certainly deletion-worthy! --11:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SunStar Net (talk • contribs).
 * Delete. I don't agree that it's WP:OR or a hoax.  The two links show that it's a real neologism, but I don't think it meets Wikipedia's guidelines for neologisms because there are no reliable sources establishing the origin of the term or its notability.  Also, this subject has been repeatedly deleted under the title Phantom mobile device vibration.  TheronJ 13:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Certainly it happens that one feels something like a pager or cell phone vibration when it is just random muscle contractions. That can result in checking the phone and there was no call, or in failintg to respond to a call, believing it is a phantom. But there should be more info, tied to medical sources such as journal articles or textbooks  for there to be an article about it. Not just an OR observation. The second reference in the article actually says "..no studies have looked into this phenomenon,." Please come back with a useful article when there are studies. Edison 16:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
