Prairie Muffins

Prairie Muffins (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Delete. Textbook case of non-notable neologism. The "Prairie Muffin Manifesto" is hosted on a homeschooling mother's website, and "Note: If you have something you would like to suggest for the Prairie Muffin Manifesto, email carmon...". What fun! But not a reliable source. All other sources are blogs and quizzes ("Are you a Prairie Muffin?"). It looks like the article's author has worked very hard on this, and commentors at Talk:Prairie Muffins have raised doubts about verifiability, but the author couldn't come up with any further support. Time to move it off Misplaced Pages, back to the blogosphere. — coelacan talk — 23:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Yes the sources are blogs and other websites. But unlike most of the non-notable neologisms we debate here it is in lots of blogs and web sites. So it seems to be a real web word. Here is even a site making fun of it . I think we keep other words used mainly on the web. This one seems to have caught on.Obina 00:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Have you read WP:RS? It doesn't matter how many blogs and quizzes and chain letters and friendship bracelets it adds up to. Not a single one of them is a reliable source. — coelacan talk — 01:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Forgot my other thought. Perhaps the manifesto site itself meets WP:WEB and we should make the article about the web site if consensus is to delete this page as is. I forget how all that alexa stuff works.Obina 00:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
There is not even the remostest chance of the website meeting WP:WEB. If it did, then it would already meet WP:RS. — coelacan talk — 01:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
The AfD won't close immediately, and I have a backup copy of the article on my hard drive (in wiki markup as well as html). If you need it later, let me know on my talk page. — coelacan talk — 07:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
This page will be fun to quote in future AfD debates. CyberAnth 07:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
A word of caution. AfDs stand on their own merits. To say that one thing failed so another automatically should is not a valid argument. Mallanox 16:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Let me also say that I have knowledge of a book in proccess for publication on Quiverfull where "Prairie Muffins" will be a subject of discussion (I am the author). So do not salt this, as I suspect an article (real article) might turn up again. CyberAnth 07:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
As far as I am concerned, you can close this. I have the info on userspace. CyberAnth 07:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I can't imagine why. I thought you were moving it off Misplaced Pages. Yeah, you can take it into your userspace for a short period of time, but remember WP:NOT#WEBSPACE. — coelacan talk — 07:43, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
What I cannot imagine is is the reasons for the double-standards. CyberAnth 08:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Oh wait, wait, stop, this is too deliciously rich, I can hardly begin to savor it. Who is the one with "Most particularly, I am a hard-ass stickler for requiring reliable citations for all article claims" plastered on his userpage that he links to dumpy little unsourced articles with such swelling pride? Do you even read your book? http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/mt/7.html — coelacan talk — 08:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Delete no evidence the term is in widespread use and WP:NOR. If some good sources could be put forth, I'd change my vote, however. Tarinth 10:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
