Sociophysics

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Non-notable neologism; violative of WP:ONEDAY and WP:NEO. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Neutral Really? A quick look at Google Sholar, Google News and Google Books shows quite a significant amount of coverage on this subject. WP:ONEDAY doesn't seem to apply here at all. Vodello (talk) 01:55, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * reply - It would seem that several people have made up this term over the decades; but each definition seems more bogus and farcical than the next, and they don't seem to agree with each other. The schoolroom of WP:ONEDAY can be a grad school staff room as well as some sixth-grader's cafeteria. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  02:46, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete Regardless of whether the topic is notable or not, this article in its current form is patent nonsense (including quite a few statements that are clearly false), and can be speedily deleted as such. Stonemason89 (talk) 02:16, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, there are sources that describe a field of endeavour known as sociophysics. They even note how, until relatively recently, the name has been "more slogan than science".  This article bears no relation to what I can find in those sources.  A redirect to econophysics might be appropriate, failing a proper article here, although sociophysics is supposedly the broader field of the twain. Uncle G (talk) 02:31, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * comment - recent edits have made it much worse gibberish than it was before. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
