Self-admitted speculation, making it inherently non-encyclopedic. Either transwiki to Wikisource (if it's deemed sensible) or delete (if it isn't). — JIP | Talk 13:30, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

researchrambling, no potential to become encyclopedic, no indication of significance which might justify sending to Wikisource. The article includes the sentence "Never to leave your audience puzzled.", but doesn't follow that advice. Barno 14:38, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply] - Delete. Personal speculation (rather too derivative to call it original, but still pointless). While this sort of guff might be acceptable in motivational seminars somewhere in California, it doesn't warrant an encyclopedia article. Average Earthman 16:25, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- verbal gematria of a type all too common to those who are trying to prove a point without actually knowing what they're talking about. Haikupoet 04:22, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
