[edit] Trace (psycholinguistics)

Trace (psycholinguistics) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Spedily deleted once by me; when I nominated for speedy deletion for the second time, with the reason of "Blatant promotional, see sentences like "If the prediction turns out to be 100% accurate, then the model must be a useful theory about the stock market. TRACE is just like this [...]", it was transformed to proposed deletion. However, creator objects to deletion on the talk age, so this process is more appropriate. Delete unless re-written. - Mike Rosoft 21:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. The citations in the article establish that the topic is notable and an article can be written about it. The present article seems to have been written by a well-informed author who isn't fully acquainted with Wikipedia's policies, but it's far from unfixable, and contains much good information that would take another editor, particularly a non-specialist, a long time to rewrite from scratch. I think deleting this kind of contribution may discourage experts from writing for Wikipedia (cf. this essay). EALacey 22:25, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Informative and important for people who know anything about linguistics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.55.6.215 (talk) 00:30, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. A clear example of an article which needs cleanup rather than deletion. Phil Bridger 09:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
