Kippian Method

edit

Note to all new editors: All entries on Wikipedia need to be verifiable. Several efforts by other editors failed to turn up evidence this technique exists, so if you are offended by the fact it is up for deletion, help us out and provide references we can use to confirm this article's content with. - Mgm|(talk) 21:25, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, if you were directed here by family members, your boss, your friend or that person at KFC and told to vote keep; PLEASE DO NOT DO SO UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE THAT THE "Kippian Method" IS NOTABLE ENOUGH. Doing so is not in accordance with Wikipedia policy. Thank you. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 23:56, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Original research about achieving success. The references cited in the article don't even mention the "Kippian Method". A Google search, Google Books search, and Google Scholar search return no results. Seems to be either a non-notable method, hoax, or something madeup in one day.

  • I have been using the "Kippian Method" and have found it very effective. I find myself less stressed and able to focus on my studies better. The "Kippian Method" has literally kept me from failing out of college. Ryovercash (talk) 18:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • This method was widely discussed in my college level economics class, and was also a focus of time management seminars I have attended. As Ryovercash says, it's implementation in my life has greatly increased both my productivity and my level of happiness. Personally, I find it quite offensive that a helpful article of this nature is even being considered for deletion. I think some of the critics of the Kippian Method would do well to add it to their lives - they seem rather high strung. MYSTYNWA (talk) 20:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The "Kippian Method" was introduced to me when I arrived at college. Many college counselors discuss the issues students have regarding working harder and doing worse. It is important to be able to relax as much as possible and then do focused, small, intense periods of work. This maximizes efficiency and removes the distractions such as stress and exhaustion. It is much easier working when you know you won't be working for hours upon hours. I have applied the "Kippian Method" to my studies and have found that working is much easier and that I have fewer distractions. I procrastinate less, because I am able to break my work down into smaller chunks. I am able to only do the really necessary work and remove the tedious busy work that acts only as a distraction. The "Kippian Method" should be introduced to all high schools. I agree that the idea of deleting the "Kippian Method" is offensive. NickyTaylor (talk) 18:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do Not Delete- The professor of my ethics course recently attended a conference on studying habits where they extensively discussed the Kippian Method. She had been unaware of this theory beforehand, but was raving about it upon her return. She gave out handouts outlining the method's procedure and highly recommended that we consider applying it to our work regimen. Personally, I have benefited from it and I'm doing much better in my classes. I now have more leisure time, which helps me focus better when I'm actually doing work. If it were not for the Kippian Method I would probably not have the time to surf Wikipedia and approve the legitimacy of this article. I too find the assumption that this method doesn't exist to be extremely ludicrous and ill-informed. Babel Ra (talk) 21:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not Delete- While there seems to be a lack of legitimate sources for this article. I know it exists. I actually spent the better part of my afternoon looking for verifiable sources for this method as was shocked when I too could not find anything online. Its incredible that such a popular method does not seem to have any online recognition. Cunningway (talk) 22:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete as hoax. There is nothing anywhere on online that I can find. Hobit (talk) 02:42, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do Not Delete- I'm a student at UNCC and know of several students at both my school and Davidson College that endorse the Kippian Method. I'm not sure how widely used this method is but I believe it is worthy of acknowledgment.
