NLP

I am proposing deletion of the entire set of articles on Neurolinguistic programming. See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Neuro-linguistic programming. NLP is an extraordinary pseudoscience that is so successful at disguising itself as real science that it had many people fooled for a long time. I'm amazed this has gone on for so long but enough is enough. I would appreciate any help on this as there is bound to be a bitter fight - there are a number of commercial interests involved and there is evidence of some inside support in Misplaced Pages itself. I have a separate file of information if you are interested, but for obvious reasons that cannot go on-wiki. Best. Peter Damian (talk) 10:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Peace process: pseudoscience

See my message on FT2's talk page and suggesting of mediation process. I think there are some important lessons to be learned from recent incidents, and would value your input. Let me know on my talk page. See also the points I discussed with Guy. Peter Damian (talk) 06:03, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Identifying reliable sources

I've left a note on the NLP talk page describing the problem of identifying reliable sources for possible pseudoscience. Any help appreciated. Peter Damian (talk) 15:05, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Comment on the article, not the contributor

Please respect WP:OR, and cease your PoV pushing campaign for your religion. Misplaced Pages is WP:NOT the place to enact your little paradigm shifts. Jefffire (talk) 12:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Ummm...go back to the top of this section. And where have I made use of original research??? Hgilbert (talk) 13:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Your belief that AM is a legitimate field of science. WTF? Why not make a RfC on the subject, see how that goes ;). Jefffire (talk) 13:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

spoilers

Hi, Jefffire. You are right. So the question is "if" the article should contain them. The Nethack article is pretty good and it was spoiler-free except for just a couple very minor ones. I think removing them is the appropriate thing to do as the article benefits more from it than it loses. I was unaware that Misplaced Pages has changed somewhat regarding the Misplaced Pages:Spoiler policy. Thanks for pointing that out. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:57, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
