The distinction of illusions
A '"melodramatic" and "purely nihilistic"' essay. Its contributor's user name suggests that he may be same as its author, making this vanity; even if not, the most generous fate I can see for the article is a move to Wikisource. --Cryptic (talk) 02:44, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * As of June 2005, only one third of the total essay has been published to the public. Ah. Then two thirds of it is unverifiable. Look, this stuff is soporific twaddle; why even raise the possibility of wasting server space at Wikisource with it? Delete. -- Hoary 02:53, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
 * Because googling raised a (slim) possibility of there being a notable Cameron Thurber out there, and philosophy isn't my cup of tea - I'm afraid it all looks like soporific twaddle to me. Also note that I marked the article , not  . :) --Cryptic (talk) 03:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. I actually read this entire (portion of an) essay. If the writer is under 15, he might have a bright future.  There is, however, nothing remotely encyclopedic about this. Xoloz 05:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable essay. Eric119 05:16, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree with Xoloz, but I'm a little less sanguine, as I think many, many very bright people think these thoughts at about that age. It's good for him, but it's a rite of passage.  Deep Thoughts. Geogre 12:05, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
