Hyper-Symbolic Interactionism[edit]

Sounds like a copy-paste from the Postmodernism Generator. Phrase gets 11 google hits, 10 from Wikipedia or Answers.com, and the only one that looks remotely relevant is a dead link. The paper supposedly putting forth this theory was published in 2006, making this a very neo neologism. Opabinia regalis 04:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Man, that transgressive interrogation of digital re:(con)textualitie(s) really problematizes my discourse. Auto movil 04:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Conceptualize deletionism parameter -- per nom, also no verifiable sources. NawlinWiki 12:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's articles that either are or aren't verifiable, not sources. Uncle G 14:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article cites a paper, but I am unable to locate any such paper. A single such paper is far too specific a topic for an encyclopaedia article, anyway. I can find nothing else on this purported subject at all. This is either advertising for brand-new concept to be published in a forthcoming paper, contrary to our Wikipedia:No original research policy, or an outright hoax. With no sources at all to be had, the article is unverifiable. Delete. Uncle G 14:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete one paper does not make for notability, and in this case we appear to have zero. So it fails WP:NN, WP:V andWP:OR. I guess it might pass WP:HSI ;) --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 17:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom. One of my running fears in university is that I'm gonna have to deal with stuff like this. Edward Wakelin 22:12, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
