Psionics
Delete Biased content, non-scientific basis for information, needs deleting and completely rewritten. CitrusC 18:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC) rewrite, to object to this article saying its not true is invalid, the information is based on what psionics is not what is or is not scientificly proven.
 * Keep but rewrite; there are enough fictional references to psionics out there to justify an article. 23skidoo 22:05, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per 23skidoo. Ardenn 22:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep/rewrite per 23skidoo - topic is obviously not scientific, but is notable and needs a NPOV page. -- 84.9.20.120 23:34, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per 23skidoo. --Allen 00:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable, although a rewrite is in order. I did the current rewrite, but I acknowledge that it needs a lot more work. Firestorm 01:03, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There has been a significant amount of verifiable reasearch done by the US and Russia during the cold war which has been declassified. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.210.7.98 (talk &bull; contribs).
 * Keep as per earlier voices - the concept is important in fiction, at least. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 11:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Although I don't believe in psionics, I found the article usefull to learn what believers understand under "psionics". The introduction clearly states that it never was scientifically proofen to exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.51.200.28 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep I don't see that the article meets any criteria for deletion. That said, I stumbled on this vote due to my work on Psionics (role-playing games), which I have now re-written the section for on this page (minor though it is). These are very different topics in the same way that Magic (paranormal) and Magic (gaming) are, and I think that, perhaps, the conflation of the belief in real-world paranormal abilities and the gaming mechnics has lead to the state the page is in now. -Harmil 22:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
