Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipediaddiction

Neologism. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 02:07, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC) [moved from mainpage] I think it needs to be somewhere, keep under some name, because it does refer to a demonstrably extant phenomenon. Personally I'm not an addict, I can quit any time, but one can become addicted to wikpedia. Might be nice if this were actually addressed in a supportive manner, (what can you do if you find yourself getting addicted) etc., rather than as a joke though. Pedant 00:00, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Wrong namespace. Move to Wikipedia: namespace, and link to Are You a Wikipediholic Test? Securiger 06:45, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipediholic is no less neologism and does not seem to be nominated as a consideration for deletion. Grice 10 AUG 2004
 * Delete. Neologism. As for Wikipediholic, firstly it isn't in the article namespace, and secondly I'm inclined to agree that the redirect should be listed in redirects for deletion. That doesn't affect the decision on this. Andrewa 13:44, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete or move to another namespace. Rmhermen 13:07, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Redir to Are You a Wikipediholic Test or Wikipediholic. I also think it's incorrect--WP addicts are more likely to be editors, not just readers. My life is currently being negatively affected by my compulsion to edit Wikipedia (I only work about 20 hrs/week, when my employer would prefer 40, thus I am losing $1400 per week), so I think I know the subject.

 * I went ahead and moved the article to Wikipedia: Wikipediaddiction. Hoping that this has changed the namespace of the article, I hope it is no longer in the "article namespace". Grice 19:59, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete the redirect from Wikipediaddiction since it is obviously in the wrong namespace. I have no opinion on whether Wikipediaddiction should be deleted or not. Angela. 01:16, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * If the redirect for wikipediaddiction gets deleted then the redirect for wikipediholic should also get deleted.
 * Delete. Not encyclopedic content. Move if it may be appropriate elsewhere, but not in the context of an online encyclopedia. Skyler 03:32, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete or get it out of the main article namespace. Not familiar with the rules on the Wikipedia namespace, don't see any harm in its being there. It's not a standard term, and in the main namespace it would be sort of incestuous in-joke, inappropriate. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:31, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, the name of the article seems inappropriate. Said aloud it sounds as if it may be an article on proper Wikipedian pronunciation.Fire Star 16:14, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article on Wikipedia addiction by a user who's been registered for a week and has 15 edits (most to the article in question and this debate)? Hah! You know nothing about being addicted to Wikipedia! -- Cyrius|&#9998; 01:38, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not much more to say... The Land 17:44, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
