Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Higher Self

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ooh, time to pass the tinfoil. Someone needs a new hat. This bit of entertaining foofery has been languishing since March and some unfortunate soul listed it for cleanup. Written by an anon with no prior history, and it doesn't look like he's coming back. Maybe he's morphed to a higher region! - Lucky 6.9 07:08, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

NOTE:I put it in cleanup, after I put W. A. Draves in VfD and people were voting to keep (scroll up for W. A. Draves entry) Salasks
  • that's a bloody good set of excuses for being late to work (I was garnering experiences in the third and possibly fourth densities and couldn't refuse a nice cuppa from a Higher Self). Please place this article in a density where Wikipedia's servers do not manifest themselves. --Ianb 07:24, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Now, now, let's be kiiind. An article of this name could be written that would find a home and respect in Category:New Age and Category:New religious movements; however, the term and associated concept are used in so many different ways by so many different groups that it would have to be a survey article. This article, by contrast, is just one view, an essentially unattributed one, and no one has been ambitious enough to tackle cleaning and broadening it. From a practical perspective, then—and being slightly less kiiind—kill it. --Gary D 08:04, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • I concur with Gary D. A legitimate, broad article about the concept of a "Higher Self" could indeed be written -- but the article as it now stands isn't it. If it isn't cleaned up, it needs to be deleted. Kevyn 12:03, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: "They exist primarily in the 5th density of existence?" That's pretty darned nutty. Perhaps something along the lines of Gary's suggestion is possible in an umbrella article, and especially one concerned with reporting the belief rather than advocating it. Most times, people on Clean Up don't blank a whole article and start anew, and that's what we've been advocating. In other words, our requests for clean up are, in fact, "delete and seek a contributor willing to write a new article on the topic." Geogre 13:28, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • I have descended from the sixth density of existence to laugh at your puny fifth-density squallor. Delete this article. -- WOT 15:58, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, but put in BJAODN Salasks 21:23, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Someone posted someone else's unfinished science fiction novel as this article, apparently. Delete. Fire Star 00:48, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete; this seems beyond salvaging. Gwimpey 05:28, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect Wikipedia:Administrator? No, seriously, delete.DJ Clayworth 17:52, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • No salvageable content; delete. Sean Curtin
  • I vote delete. So does my higher self. --Michael Snow 23:35, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
