String reality
Essay and original research. Author contested prod without addressing issues. ~Matticus TC 13:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, im not sure what this means, why is my article being deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikolo21 (talk • contribs)
 * What it means is that the article appears to be an essay and/or original research; in other words, it is publishing your own research and/or opinions on a topic, not a factual account of a topic referring to other reliable sources of information. To quote the WP:NOT policy:
 * "Wikipedia is not a place to publish your own thoughts and analyses or to publish new information not heretofore published. Please do not use Wikipedia for [...] [p]rimary (original) research such as proposing theories and solutions, original ideas, defining terms, coining new words, etc. If you have done primary research on a topic, publish your results in other venues such as peer-reviewed journals, other printed forms, or respected online sites, and Wikipedia will report about your work once it becomes part of accepted knowledge."
 * This is why the article has been nominated for deletion. ~Matticus TC 13:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete It seems it's been nominated for deletion because Wikipedia is not the place to introduce one's own theories or philosophies. We are supposed to create articles on ideas, theories, and phenomena that exist outside of our own research, and to give clear references to published sources.  We're not even supposed to draw basic conclusions that haven't been published elsewhere.  For instance, if someone printed an article demonstrating "A," and someone else printed an article demonstrating "B," then we still can't say "A supports B," or "A contradicts B," unless someone somewhere has made this sythesis in print... and we have to give a citation.  Examine the links given above to the policies on Original Research and Essays, and also consider whether this meets the requirements of Neutral Point Of View and Verifiability. zadignose 13:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
