Big Body Theory deletion discussion edit
Hi Eklingdas. Regarding this comment, if you want to contest the deletion then the place to do it is at Wikipedia:Deletion review. However, you do need a good reason, and given that you were unable to provide reliable sources that confirm that "big body theory" exists during the deletion discussion, I don't rate your chances. Wikipedia isn't the place to publish your original research. If you want to do that, you should submit it to a scholarly journal or a newspaper. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:17, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Larry, guess you were not one of the WP worthy who could view reality without rule-based filters. In fact, they may be an entirely fictitious species, but do hope you at least read the comment before thy near instantaneous deletion. It just seems pretty hard to confuse "original research" with simple socio-political foreboding that countless folks are feeling and trying to articulate in many different ways. Anyway, there will, I fear, be an imminent "I told you so" moment, which I shall, alas, not relish in the least. Eklingdas (talk) 13:47, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- I will happily help recreate the article if big body theory turns out to exist. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:33, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) The issue is nothing to do with whether Big Body Theory is real or fictitious, though I perceived it to be a hoax when I saw it and still do. The issue is that Wikipedia records only what is reported by others in reliable sources. WP:TRUTH is worth a read here.
- If you can show with references that this is reported by others then the topic may be re-created. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make any future draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
- Please do not take this personally. It is part of working in a project where every editor has a vlid opinion. Fiddle Faddle 21:25, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
