Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matti Pitkanen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matti, I believe somewhere in Wikipedia there's a rule that we shouldn't write articles about ourselves. Very reluctantly, I think you should withdraw that page. I'll be very fair and give you some good ammunition (especially since you're probably a darn sight more notable than I am): I wrote the page LacusCurtius about my own website; but see the talk page, I was even more reluctant to do that and was urged by blank links prepared for it (by others). Maybe you can get someone else to start the article?? Best, Bill 20:45, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • As far as I can tell, he's a physicist attempting to do philosophy and psychology. Doesn't do a particularly good job at either, and not notable. I'm not so bothered by his writing the page himself, but the other things make it worth my Delete vote. --Improv 22:46, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Article does not present any evidence of notability. Delete on that basis. --Robert Merkel 04:38, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable person. Page is without the usual vanity though, so this could be a start of a biography if he becomes more well known in the future. I wonder, however, would his Topological Geometrodynamics theory (VfD entry) be compatible with the Time cube concept? jni 13:01, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: His theory is not well known in the physics community (he appears to be the only person working on it), and his connection with that theory appears to be the only real content on this page. If the theory takes off, that's the time to add this article. For now, neither this article nor the article about his theory really fit here. --Steuard 20:10, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Vanity page. His papers are unknown/ignored in the scientific community; cited only by himself. See [1] -- Fropuff 19:25, 2004 Oct 11 (UTC)
  • Non Delete. I find no grounds to judge this a vanity page nor believe Pitkanen completely ignored. Nevertheless, as a truce he might consider making this page available to Wikipedia readers as his personal info, not as a main entry page. ´´Marcel´´--209.13.231.33 18:58, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable enough and vanity page. --French Tourist 07:27, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Non Delete Pitkanen's theory is just the biggest thing to ever hit the scientific exploration into consciousness. I suppose none of you have ever heard of Tucson, Professor David Chalmers, Stuart Hammerof, Penrose etc. Pitkanen is the new Einstein. Incidentally he was banned from posting to scientific journals and lost his position as Professor at the University of Helsinki by some kind of conspiracy. Pitkanen is defintely the new Einstein. But then, most of you won't know this because you are just not able to understand the theory. Yes it is "compatible" with the cube theory, however it is way more sophisticated, matured and practically useable. The prediction capability of the theory is way higher than superstring theory (but then again most of you have probably never heard of that either). Matti I love you! --South African 07:27, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
