[edit] Flying humanoids

All sources are original research (i.e. conspiracy theory and Bigfoot nuts). No verifiable sources. The topic of this article is laughable at best. The article seems to be made because of a single sighting of a "flying humanoid" over Mexico City. Cyde Weys votetalk 23:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete But archive at BJAODN, just for the "A rare photograph of a hundred flying humanoids." :) TigerShark 23:23, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
    • To be fair, I added in the photographs, and then realized the article was probably worthy of deletion, too. --Cyde Weys votetalk 23:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
      • As funny as they were, I've removed the images so that this article's silliness can stand for itself. --Bletch 23:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Just to be clear to anyone reviewing my vote - I voted delete because of the main article content, that photo just tickled me enough suggest the archive. Nice one Cyde ;) TigerShark 23:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge into Jeff Rense; pretty much every google result seems to eventually point back to www.rense.com --Bletch 23:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Non Rense source Martial Law 23:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I like how you're backing up Rense with something from a crop circle site. This is only a valid source if you already believe in this stuff. If not, it's just more conspiracycruft. --Cyde Weys votetalk 23:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
        • What is it that people have videotaped, one guy has a camera w/ a zoom function. Martial Law 23:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
          • Looks like a splotch or a blotch to me. And even if I did somehow think it was a flying humanoid (which is one of the more ludicrous concepts I've ever heard of), that still wouldn't make it verifiable. Also, please thread your comments correctly (see the other posts in here as an example). Thanks. --Cyde Weys votetalk 00:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Here is a video link: click on it to see one of the tapes. Click on the RED link in this link to see the tape Martial Law 00:02, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I did, the link messed this up. Martial Law 00:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • The crop circle link says the Aztecs believed these things were gods, please see the depiction. Martial Law 00:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Some of what is on that site may support one of your pixes User:Cyde Weys, since there are reports of "Mad Inventors" on that site. Martial Law 00:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Just input in the Google search box:"Flying Humanoids". A few of the links dovetail back to Jeff Rense's site, especially those relating to the videotape links. Martial Law 00:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm new @ this sort of thing. Martial Law 00:35, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • There are 221,000 websites and data sites pertaining to "Flying Humanoids" on Google. Martial Law 00:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • If you did your Google search correctly you'd see that it's actually only 698 hits. --Cyde Weys votetalk 00:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Have done so. Did you incl. the omitted results ? Martial Law 01:02, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I think it's funny how you think I'm the one who made a Googling mistake. Here's a hint: you need to put the phrase in quotes. Just searching for flying humanoid gets a lot of irrelevant results. --Cyde Weys votetalk 01:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Absolute nonsense. Moriori 01:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unverifiable nonsense. Martial Law, it's plain you still don't understand Wikipedia:Reliable sources. android79 01:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonsense. --Terence Ong 02:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Coment,not vote: The primary information came from the Mexican Media, not from Jeff Rense. Someone gave it to him. This makes Jeff Rense the secondary source, not the primary source. Martial Law 06:17, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Have read indicated link. Does this cover foreign sources, such as the Mexican media, which was the primary media that reported the incident with the flying humanoids ? In the US., it was some of the Texas media that reported the people in the US videotaping these things. Appreciate the reminder Android79. Jeff Rense has both incident reports, videotapes in his archives. Martial Law 06:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nonnotable nonsense that appears to exist solely to add links to sites with very bad cases of poor reliability. DreamGuy 07:02, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Jimmy Wales said there are very few situations in which an article is legitimately deletable, or that only in very rare cases is there a reason for deleting an article, or something like that... yes, this article has no references, along with 95% of the rest of wikipedia: if it wasn't a violation of WP:POINT I would put Augustine Volcano up for deletion because it too has no references, only external links like this article. Both articles need references added, and so do roughly 800,000 other articles on this wikipedia - or do you wanna delete them all instead? I don't think the deletionists do, but all evil is hypocritical and I suspect all deletionists are profoundly evil and growing eviller by the minute as they hunch over their keyboards and stuff good donuts after bad so as to step up their sugar-rush and thus their deletionism. Keep flying humanoids. --86.141.50.205 07:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Appreciate whoever you are for voting to keep this article. The primary sources for the article is the Mexican media and the Texas media. Both sources are found on Jeff Rense's website/homepage. I, in turn, found them on his webpage. The videotape of the one shot in the US has some language issues, since the guy was shocked to see this thing. There are even depictions of these things in Aztec art. No one trusts the mainstream media anymore due to "Rathergate" and similar scandals. Martial Law 07:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I do apologise if I caused any inconviences. It is that, since the Rathergate scandal hit, other media scandals hit, people are no longer trusting the mainstream media for their news, etc. Some do not even like the FOX News network at all. Martial Law 09:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Note: This user is anonymous and can't vote, although they can have their say. --Cyde Weys votetalk 23:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment,NOT vote: Can this be merged into the paranormal article ? Martial Law 08:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC) :)
  • Delete as unverifiable; smerge to unidentified flying object would be okay. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-15 09:17Z
  • Delete as nonsense. -- Krash 16:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • BJAODN and delete. Totally unverifiable. Stifle 22:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't BJAODN because by golly, I wrote parts of this and tried to bring it up to standard as best I could. You people are so mean! Gazpacho 07:17, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nonsensical bullshit. Incognito 02:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
