100% original research. Speedy deleted once already, and reposted by author with edit summary "Do not delete"; prod removed. JuJube 10:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, then Redirect to The Rules, a notable book on dating. We don't need any of this stuff left in the history.  Mango juice talk 10:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. --Bonadea 12:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It is clear from reading the article that this is the editor's own personal hypothesis being first published on Wikipedia, in violation of our No original research policy. The fact that neither of the two cited books (that supposedly support this article) exists according to both Amazon and Google Books is in some ways simply icing on the cake.  Wikipedia is not the place for publishing one's personal, firsthand, ideas and observations about a set of dating rules.  The place for that is one's own web site.  A redirect doesn't seem necessary, given the title. Delete. Uncle G 15:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete and warn user if fabricated refs. I was the PRODer, and stand by my original WP:OR WP:NFT concern. DMacks 18:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as un-encyclopaedic, but it does make a funny read.--Rudjek 19:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete but redirect to the book The Rules. Note that these "rules" are different and apparently unrelated, but a redirect would make sense. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete and redirect to the known (and published) book The Rules. WP is not a personal publishing house.  -- Pastordavid 22:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete/Re-direct I agree with all the above comments The Rules is a much more reliable stuff for the content of the article. Gan fon  00:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
