Removed disguised Rosencomet link Timmy12 20:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Removed copy of search engine link that was triggering spam filter. (This was NOT a disguise; at the time, I was unaware of the policy against search engine links.) Rosencomet 16:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Removed the deletion suggestion. The deletion suggestion said that Krippner was not a notable author, although numerous publications are listed on the page itself. Also it said references are from 'fringe publications'. 'Fringe publications' is subjective and a matter of opinion. Also, is wikipedia not allowing 'fringe' topics and people any longer? Who gets to decide what is 'fringe'? One man's fringe is another man's mainstream. The fact that Krippner's page was suggested to be deleted is hard for me to understand. Krippner is probably one of the most prolific transpersonal psychologist in terms of publications, look at his website and check out his CV if you disagree with me. His number of publications in academic journals is enormous, if not super human (not exagerating, look at the CV!). I feel the impulse to put this page up for deletion is one reason less people are adding pages to wikipedia, as the Weird article highlighted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.184.121.12 (talk) 00:28, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Removed the deletion suggestion again. The first deletion suggestion said that if the deletion suggestion was removed it was to NOT be added back. I feel that the person who is suggesting this for deletion is someone with a personal agenda against Krippner. I am thinking it could be a disgruntled student. Also, the person who keeps putting up the deletion tag is NOT discussing the issue in the discussion page. Please stop putting this deletion tag on the article. Krippner is a notable author in the field of transpersonal psychology, this is just ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.184.121.12 (talk) 02:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have never met Krippner in my life. As for not discussing the AfD here on this talk page that is because, as per Wikipedia policy, I am discussing it at the AfD page accessible through the link that you deleted, contrary to Wikipedia policy. I would suggest that you participate there to demonstrate notability under WP:PROF if you are interested in preserving the article. Simonm223 (talk) 13:59, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The first deletion suggestion was a WP:PROD the second was a WP:AFD I suggest you familiarize yourself with the difference. Simonm223 (talk) 14:00, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


  • I feel this article is being vandalized by wiki users with an 'axe to grind'. For example, i notice that the above user frequents the 'fringe message board' on wikipedia. It appears some on wikipedia are, consciously or unconsciously, trying to purge wikipedia of 'fringe' topics. Really very sad the direction wikipedia is taking and sad that some with power on this site are using it for destructive end. Just dont understand how there is not room for 'fringe' topics on wikipedia.
