[edit] Homo stupidus economicus

Delete. original research, POV. Also take note of the See also section --IByte 16:33, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete silly neologism. -- DS1953 16:37, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep A neologism it may be, but it is not "silly". As I (the author) explain in the article, it makes a very serious and important point. Admittedly, the idea is very new, but would ask you to let the article remain for a time to give those concerned with environmental and sustainability issues a chance to read and appreciate it. Once they have, I am sure, it will get their full support. It should also be read and understood in the context of the other articles I have recently contributed --Roger Hicks.
  • I'll strike the adjective, but my vote is still the same. DS1953 19:27, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Delete Articles are not position papers with the intent to persuade. Your entry (and entries) go beyond informing and definitely break the POV rule.--Daul21 17:22, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not a soapbox. If your neologism has merit it must stand or fall outside Wikipedia. Alba 17:28, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not the place to promote original research, obviously. --Etacar11 17:32, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Neologism. If anyone else on Spaceship Earth starts using this, the article can be re-created from Roger's website. --Habap 17:54, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Forthwith. Dottore So 18:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Original research. --Craigkbryant 21:09, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to my wiki if you please, thanks. It's funny. Wikinerd 07:27, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete; anything actually noteworthy here should be added instead to Homo economicus, if there is anything noteworthy here. Should be Homo stultus economicus in any case: in Latin, stultus is "stupid" or "foolish", while stupidus means "stunned", "drunk", "in a stupor". Smerdis of Tlön 14:23, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Just an opinion piece! pstudier 23:47, 2005 August 18 (UTC)
• Delete It seems to be prank article.--Vonaurum 18:03, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
