Revision as of 16:17, 2 April 2006
Cyclical time
Article was put up for prod as "Unreferenced pseudo-scientific nonsense", but the tag was removed without comment by the original author, so up for a vote it goes.

Delete as prod nominator. As far as I can tell, it goes to great length to argue that time is cyclical by invoking various famed physicists. At the moment, it is unreferenced and fails WP:OR and WP:V. Cleanup. The added references support keeping, there appears to be a real concept somewhere in there. However, the article is of very poor quality, but that is not in itself a reason for deletion. --Henrik 21:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)- Delete as original research and crankery. Brian G.

Keep Appears to be referenced, but the article could be improved. Fishhead64 22:19, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Delete per Fan1967's point. Fishhead64 01:04, 2 April 2006 (UTC)- Delete Even with references, the article is an attempt to synthesize a number of very differing viewpoints, and does qualify as original research. - Fan1967 22:51, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, original and crackpot --Deville (Talk) 00:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep I'm sure we can use an article on this concept and I don't think it is trying to merge them all into one but explain them all (but going about it the wrong way). Kotepho 00:36, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable concept, referenced in the works of Strauss and Howe. Wiwaxia 01:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. The author is a cult member and essentially trying to push their world view of a single constantly repeating 5,000 year cycle of time through the facade of psuedo-science. 195.82.106.244 13:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
