Speculation on the word listen
Self-admitted speculation, making it inherently non-encyclopedic. Either transwiki to Wikisource (if it's deemed sensible) or delete (if it isn't). &mdash; J I P | Talk 13:30, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * delete it is made of the words del and ete. Brighterorange 13:48, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wow. Oh, wow.  He blew my freakin' mind, man!  Like, there's no I in t-e-a-m, and you can't spell "life" without "if."  Deep Thoughts. Geogre 13:56, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, original research rambling, no potential to become encyclopedic, no indication of significance which might justify sending to Wikisource. The article includes the sentence "Never to leave your audience puzzled.", but doesn't follow that advice.  Barno 14:38, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Personal speculation (rather too derivative to call it original, but still pointless). While this sort of guff might be acceptable in motivational seminars somewhere in California, it doesn't warrant an encyclopedia article. Average Earthman 16:25, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete... but what if c-a-t actually spells dog? -- BD2412  talk  19:29, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
 * (see also Michael Keaton on SNL Celebrity Jeopardy, explaining that if you break down the word number into its components - "numb" and "ber", it means someone who can't feel that they're cold).

 * Delete -- verbal gematria of a type all too common to those who are trying to prove a point without actually knowing what they're talking about. Haikupoet 04:22, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * For those not understanding the reference: Gematria.  Barno 14:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, original research. Megan1967 05:35, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Surely this should be speedied as obvious nonsense? PaulHammond 17:23, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
