The result was delete. WP:SNOW, there's no reason to let this sit out any longer when it's clearly known where it's headed. —SpacemanSpiff 18:43, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense article, possibly with OR. Individual sentences can be parsed as English, but taken together, the article is gibberish - it doesn't address the page's topic! References are only here for padding, it looks like. Editor who created this page, User:Marshallsumter is currently banned for disruptive editing. Hundreds of other articles from this editor are being canvassed. Please help! AstroCog (talk) 22:17, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - There are virtually no sources that discuss "Abstract concept generator ". I found one book mentions it once: "Some aspects of text grammars: A study in theoretical linguistics and poetics" by Dijk. But it is mentioned in passing, and that is not sufficient for an entire WP article. If there is such a ting as an ACG, any material related to it could be put into some article on linguistics, grammar, or the like. --Noleander (talk) 22:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Reads like it was written by an abstract concept generator. Or by mashing together the ledes of several vaguely-related articles. Not as something that makes sense for itself, in any case. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:20, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete consists of definitions from several different topics stuck together with WP:OR. The term itself doesn't seem to be notable and even if it is the article would have to be rewritten from scratch. Hut 8.5 12:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The first sentence is an unattributed direct quote of the first reference. The rest of the article seems to be assembled from random unrelated snippets in the literature (WP:SYNTH). Also, this is a pattern with User:Marshallsumter's edits. See, for instance, this ANI thread. This suggests deleting with prejudice. Sławomir Biały (talk) 15:12, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, per previous !votes. It's just a tangle of unrelated snippets. If the subject were actually notable (which I doubt) we'd have to start the article from scratch anyway. bobrayner (talk) 15:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
