Proposed deletion of Duffy's constant[edit]

The article Duffy's constant has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

hoax; this subject cannot be found in the scientific literature

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Crowsnest (talk) 06:41, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010[edit]

Please do not add hoaxes to Wikipedia, such as you did in the article Duffy's constant. Hoaxes are caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method is to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please don't disrupt Wikipedia in an attempt to test our ability to detect and remove such material. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia policy to learn more about this project and how you can make a positive impact. Thank you. Crowsnest (talk) 16:23, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
