Xkcd theory

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article's content is based only on text found in one strip of a webcomic. It is not notable and has not been put forth as "Xkcd theory" anywhere else. I prodded it earlier, but it was declined. Mysdaao talk 12:56, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the admission in the article. "Somebody realized that it just made sense, and posted the theory on Wikipedia". Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:07, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:OR, WP:MADEUP.  There ought to be a speedy criterion for this, but it just doesn't fit with any of the existing ones. JulesH (talk) 13:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a scientific theory, but a joke from a webcomic taken out of context. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 13:49, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The amusing thing is, it is a perfectly valid theory. Just not an original one. JulesH (talk) 14:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Xkcd is my 2nd fav. comic (sinfest is #1) but no love for this page without citations. Hobit (talk) 14:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy as no claim to notability? Hobit (talk) 14:30, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Only applies to people and music. JulesH (talk) 14:43, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete (G3) as pure hoaxery, clearly an attempt to disrupt the encyclopedia. MuZemike  ( talk ) 15:28, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as patent nonsense.  Linguist At Large  17:14, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
