I have removed the speedy from this article because it is not blatant vandalism. However, I have been unable to find reliable sources about this topic, so I have brought it to AfD. Cunard (talk) 06:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable, Google searches for "BI ratio" and "brush to invite ratio" produce nothing relating to this subject. Original research, with an aftertaste of hoax. Hairhorn (talk) 12:53, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Snow delete. WP:MADEUP, WP:HOAX, WP:OR, or WP:V. Any will do. Tim Song (talk) 17:16, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as original research. LibStar (talk) 02:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Speedy deletion is not only for blatant vandalism. This should have been speedied as an obvious hoax. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 18:49, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It is NOT a hoax. There is little doubt the ratio exists, even if only as a meme amongst the social group of the creators. As such, speedy deletion as an obvious hoax is not appropriate. However, as LibStar states, the article is entirely original research, no reliable sources confirming any of the information in the article have been provided. Further, as Muchness points out, Wikipedia is not for things made up one day! -- Mattinbgn\^talk 01:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
