Problem of interaction[edit]
This afd nomination was incomplete. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:33, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete looks like somebody's term paper that they heavily plagiarized off of random web pages on the Internet, original research and possibly copyvio. Peyna 17:35, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Can I ask why you think plagiarised? I'm sorry about the 'please format' but I'm new here (don't bite the newbies...?). Azushi
- Because a google search revealed similar phrases to many of the sentences in the article, but no exact matches; thus suggesting that someone used them as sources and changed a few words around. It also looks very suspiciously like a term paper. Peyna 23:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course there were similar phrases! The topic is utterliy central to the philosophy of mind. I'm sure there a thousand articles called the same thing using very similar phrases because that's the philosophical terminology. I don't recognise your "Google approach" to identifying plagiarism; I could write you another "term paper" on how flawed a strategy that is. If it needs re-writing, then re-write it as you see fit (preferable to deletion, as stated by Wiki guidelines). I was simply plugging a gaping hole, as I saw it, namely that the problem of interaction had no entry on Wikipedia. I found this incredible - and this is certainly better than nothing.

- Delete There's an article in there somewhere, but this is just an essay. And the [Someone needs to format this correctly for me] isn't very endearing either! Dlyons493 Talk 17:41, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete looks like "original research." In fact, it looks like a term paper. Puts me in mind of some of the work of User:Supremevo01 interestingly enough. Mark K. Bilbo 23:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
