Unsourced fringe-theory suggested by supposedly one individual. Could at best be merged into the article Robert Freitas. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 05:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a non-notable fringe theory. --Bfigura (talk) 05:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Objection How do you call 13 printed sources non-notable? They are in books, for goodness sakes! Did you see the link proving that? --70.179.170.40 (talk) 05:51, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Go to your local library and sifft through all the junk you can find in... books. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 06:43, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Or put another way, just because something is mentioned in a book (or books) doesn't make it notable. We would need sources discussing the subject in a substantial way, which I don't think those did. Which isn't surprising, given that this is all pure speculation. --Bfigura (talk) 15:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as non-notable per WP:N. No independent reliable sources are provided in the article and a good faith Google search fails to uncover any. Appropriate content could be merged to Robert Freitas but "merge" is not an acceptable outcome of AfD discussions and policy doesn't support a Keep. Also, "13 Hits on Google Books" is not an appropriate form of citation, the link provided for that citation searches for "dechronification", which is not the title of the article, and 7 of the hits are dictionaries or quotation books. (I should note that if this is all a simple spelling error and the article was meant to be titled "dechronification" that would be a different discussion.) - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I also note the existence of Dechronication/Hypotheticals which I'm pretty sure isn't in accordance with policy on subpages. In the unlikely event of a Keep vote on the main article, the Hypotheticals subpage should be separately relisted. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops, sorry, it already is. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:13, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, only six Google hits including Wikipedia. Abductive (reasoning) 06:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
