Matrix (cyberpunk) (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links) – (View log)

AFDing this article because it offers a definition, and does not fit WP:NEO. This should go in Wiktionary instead. <3 bunny 20:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete with some amount of irony at it not fitting WP:NEO. JuJube (talk) 20:21, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep (I'm the creator, so take my vote with a pinch of salt). The term is at least 19 years old, so I would not call it a neologism. It offers a definition, because it is a astub. I could elaborate on the advent of the Matrix meme from most cyberpunk books or movies if that makes your day. Instead of instantly deleting give some time to other people to add on it, no?

  • Comment: Please read this line you have inserted: "is a imaginary concept about a very advanced worldwide computer simulation fooling all senses". This seems like WP:OR and WP:DICT. <3 bunny 20:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Sure, some books have called cyberspace the (or a) "Matrix", since well before the films, but it isn't a definable concept -- certainly not one that's definably different or separate from cyberspace. If there are sources, add something about this to that article. --Dhartung | Talk 22:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Don't not delete per above arguments. Article is borderline nonsense followed by poorly supported list. Philwelch (talk) 05:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, a dicdef attached to an "In Popular Culture" section. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 00:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC).[reply]
