Biokinesis

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The only source for this article is a website that claims that "if shot in the head, a master of biokinesis could quickly repair the damage and dislodge the bullet" That doesn't quite jive with WP:MEDRS. Mduvekot (talk) 17:09, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A WP:FRINGE topic with virtual no reliable sources discussing it. While the term does come up in searches, none of the results are anything that could remotely be considered a reliable source. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as complete crap. A WP:COATRACK Cobbling together superpowers from comics with links to a site which claims to help people change eye colour. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:04, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
delete --FRINGE stuff that is not even notable enough to be discussed in RS. "videos of people tracking the progress of their change in eye color along with subliminal message videos that supposedly aid in doing just that" oy Jytdog (talk) 18:09, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above comments. Aoba47 (talk) 18:17, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete ~~because I tried it and it didn't work~~ per WP:FRINGE Exemplo347 (talk) 22:09, 7 April 2017‎ (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - WP:FRINGE material that doesn't belong here. No third party reliable source. -- Dane ^talk 10:54, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete As per !none of the above. — O Fortuna^{velut luna...} 11:07, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with alacrity. I wish a master of biokinesis could repair the damage reading this has done to my brain. — Gamall Wednesday Ida (t · c) 11:24, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per WP:SNOW. I don't often do a literal facepalm while reading an article, but I did now. --bonadea contributions talk 12:12, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonadea: That palm can be removed through the power of Biokinesis. Exemplo347 (talk) 12:42, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Exemplo347: What I want to know is whether it can also remove sockpuppets. That would be a useful power! --bonadea contributions talk 19:49, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonadea: I'm not sure, but I've just spotted that one of the article's links points to a $9 e-book. You may find your answer there. Now, I'm going back to the "change your eyes from brown to blue" video. It'll kick in any second now. Exemplo347 (talk) 19:54, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. What. Double sharp (talk) 15:24, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Saw this AfD referenced on a discussion page on an unrelated topic. Obviously this article promotes a fringe theory. However, in doing a Google Books search I noticed a number of references to the topic. See [1] So I wonder if perhaps the article could be re-created from scratch, acknowledging that this is a fringe theory. We do have articles on fringe theories. Just a suggestion; not favoring keep per se. Coretheapple (talk) 15:44, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The non-BS references there seem to all be fictional. If this is a common enough fantasy superpower it might be worth recreating this article in another form, but the current form of the article would have nothing to do with that and would deserve deletion – because, much as it would be fun to add it to my currently empty list of superpowers, this is not a real thing.

  - Yeah, I get what you're saying. I just see a lot out there. Mind you, I realize that doesn't satisfy GNG, so I guess I will pile on with a delete. Coretheapple (talk) 16:19, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - I just wanted to point out that the applicable notability guideline is WP:NFRINGE. Apparently it does not meet the specifications of that guideline. ~~I don't think MEDRS is relevant to this discussion.~~ Coretheapple (talk) 21:29, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Coretheapple: I assumed that that was WP:IRONY ;) but even so, you're dead right about the relevant guideline. — O Fortuna^{velut luna} 09:11, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, it was worse---a brain freeze. I was thinking of a different rule. I struck it out. Coretheapple (talk) 12:19, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd ask if those could be repaired by biokinesis, but the joke's been practically run into the ground at this point. Though I wonder if we could all erase them from our memories by biokinesis and start using them again? ^_^ Double sharp (talk) 14:14, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
