Jaclyn Scale

This article is unsourced and a web search reveals no notability. It is also hard to understand, and has previously been speedily deleted under category "G1" (patent nonsense). I am not convinced the current version quite reaches that threshold, hence taking to AFD rather than CSD-G4 (recreation of deleted content) — Alan^✉ 18:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Zero google hits[1]; probably something invented by the article's editor (whose has contributed to no other articles[2]), certainly non-notable. And yeah, pretty nonsensical too--maybe not quite enough to qualify under WP:CSD#G1, but it's pretty bad. (The scale supposedly allows things to be compared that "cannot be empirically measured", but it uses ratios to do this, which implies some kind of quantified measurement. Also, the scale's "unique feature"--"the standarization [sic] of a previously agreed upon item"--is anything but...pretty much all scales work that way!) Okay, anyway, given its complete lack of notability or reliable sources, the fact that it also doesn't make sense is beside the point, but anyway, delete, delete, delete. --Smeazel (talk) 18:21, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
