Nielsen Doctrine[edit]

Nielsen Doctrine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)

CSD was declined, but I believe this term is absolutely WP:MADEUP. Google searches for Nielsen Doctrine reveal nothing, but when put in conjunction with other terms like "Mayaguez" it is clear that no such terms exist. I have requested (on the talk page) that the editor provide sources. None have been provided, and frankly I doubt any exist. Pure hoax page unless I can be proved otherwise. — Timneu22 · talk 14:53, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — Whether or not a hoax, is a newly (June, 2010) coined neologism not in general use, per admission of creator on article talk page. TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 14:56, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TransporterMan's point is better shown by this edit. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:12, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence at all of notability, either in the article or found on searching. In the talk page post linked to above by TransporterMan, the author of the article in effect tells us that the article is created to promote a person (the claimed originator of the expression).

Comment — Article creator has recognized on article talk page that article should be deleted as a neologism. — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 21:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete There's no record of a "Kenneth Nielsen" participating in the U.S.A.'s rescue of the crew of the Mayaguez, and no support for any of the rest of this fantasy. Mandsford 22:03, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
