it's a hoax... unlucky, we've got this same page on it.wiki...my request for deletion was directly done here (usually, ask to an admin, is a quickly way to remove hoax :P...). Bye!:)--DrugoNOT (talk) 01:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it seemed pretty harmless, so I figured I would send it through the formal deletion process. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 01:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yeah yeah, that's ok too! On it.wiki we started the formal deletion process at first, this is way we are continuing it; but otherwise the page was already "K.O." .... though you are right, anyway this page is harmless, so who cares!?.... ^___^ Bye!:)--DrugoNOT (talk) 01:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as either a hoax or unreferenced neologism; either way, no sources can be found to verify this page's content. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters wish you a Merry Fishmas! • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:22, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is first hit on Google. WP:V and WP:OR. BJ^Talk 02:39, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That happens with a lot of subjects. One should look at what's listed next. Additionally, you might want to include the string "-wikipedia" (no quotes) in your query. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 05:17, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I miswrote that. It was the only hit on google that had any content at all. BJ^Talk 22:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lots of ghits, none of the top ones relevant. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 05:17, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - It's marked as a stub. If someone can find a reference, consider keeping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aussielocust (talk • contribs) 06:07, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The effect is real but this is not the right description for it - the key thing about a teddy bear is that it is a comfort, like a security blanket. I've used the phrase "cardboard cutout" in the context of IT but think that's my own coinage. The term silent analyst is used in the context of psychoanalysis.
