This whole article seems like a bad joke, the tone is simply ridiculous, the category is wrong, it's unreferenced, the subject is never-heard before (and if, indeed, there's a "human impedance mismatch", the style of the article is utterly inadequate), and all in all it looks like one of those "trap articles" thrown in to discredit wikipedia's reliability.

• Keep. This is certainly a legitimate electrical engineering term, and I think the use of it as a metaphor for the "object-relational impedance mismatch" is pretty well established. Radical pruning or even reversion to this version may be appropriate, but not deletion. —Celithemis 00:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  It's a legitimate electrical engineering term, but this article is not about that term. That's already covered in impedance matching. This is a dictionary entry with dubious definitions. — Omegatron 05:54, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge whatever is salvageable into Impedance matching, and if nothing should be merged, just plain redirect to Impedance matching. This is conceivably a plausible search term, and the underlying physical theory and applications are well explained in the article on Impedance matching. 131.111.8.104 01:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• keep - But clean-up and add references.--Bryson^{{Talk}{Edits}} 02:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, as whatever scientific information can be found scattered in the article seems to already exist (and in a better form, too) in Impedance matching. Plus, is that term actually used in sociology/psychology or is it just someone's original research/joke/nihilartikel? EpiVictor 10:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
