Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipediaddiction

Neologism. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 02:07, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC) [moved from mainpage]

• Wrong namespace. Move to Wikipedia: namespace, and link to
  Wikipedia:Are You a Wikipediholic Test? Securiger

• Keep. Wikipediholic is no less neologism and does not seem to be nominated as a consideration for deletion. Grice 10 AUG 2004
  • Delete. Neologism. As for
    redirects for deletion. That doesn't affect the decision on this. Andrewa

• Delete or move to another namespace. Rmhermen 13:07, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
• Redir to
  Wikipedia:Are You a Wikipediholic Test or Wikipedia:Wikipediholic. I also think it's incorrect--WP addicts are more likely to be editors, not just readers. My life is currently being negatively affected by my compulsion to edit Wikipedia (I only work about 20 hrs/week, when my employer would prefer 40, thus I am losing $1400 per week), so I think I know the subject.

  • I went ahead and moved the article to Wikipedia: Wikipediaddiction. Hoping that this has changed the namespace of the article, I hope it is no longer in the "article namespace". Grice 19:59, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete the redirect from Wikipediaddiction since it is obviously in the wrong namespace. I have no opinion on whether Wikipedia:Wikipediaddiction should be deleted or not. Angela. 01:16, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • If the redirect for wikipedia: wikipediaddiction gets deleted then the redirect for wikipediholic should also get deleted.
• Delete. Not encyclopedic content. Move if it may be appropriate elsewhere, but not in the context of an online encyclopedia. Skyler 03:32, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete or get it out of the main article namespace. Not familiar with the rules on the Wikipedia namespace, don't see any harm in its being there. It's not a standard term, and in the main namespace it would be sort of incestuous in-joke, inappropriate. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:31, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, the name of the article seems inappropriate. Said aloud it sounds as if it may be an article on proper Wikipedian pronunciation.Fire Star 16:14, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I think it needs to be somewhere, keep under some name, because it does refer to a demonstrably extant phenomenon. Personally I'm not an addict, I can quit any time, but one can become addicted to wikpedia. Might be nice if this were actually addressed in a supportive manner, (what can you do if you find yourself getting addicted) etc., rather than as a joke though. Pedant 00:00, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. Article on Wikipedia addiction by a user who's been registered for a week and has 15 edits (most to the article in question and this debate)? Hah! You know nothing about being addicted to Wikipedia! -- Cyrius|✎ 01:38, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
