Hermetic Lunar Week Calendar

Delete: original research: no sign of attributable sources. Deletion as per Meyer-Palmen Solilunar Calendar, New Earth Calendar, Sol Calendar and The 30x11 Calendar. Prod removed on the grounds that the article is well-written, ignoring the fact that it violates the core, non-negotiable policy of attribution and hoping that a source might be provided, again ignoring the fact that the burden of proof is upon editors wishing to retain information.

~~Comment~~

Merge and redirect to Lunisolar calendar. Actually, I removed the prod because Peter Meyer is a respected C-programmer with an interest in calendar algorithms...Hermetic is his company, hence the name. This is a well written article, that can be merged as a well-prepared example of this calendar type as per Wiki guidelines, single source not withstanding. It is a shame to see so many of these reform calendar articles nominated and removed, instead of templated, when Pax Calendar was saved by a single offline source someone happened on...these types of sources take time to find. Regardless it is appropriate to Merge this material to Lunisolar calendar and well within Wiki guidelines to do so.

- I would recommend against merging just this one calendar into Lunisolar calendar as that could be construed as introducing POV to the article. -- Black Falcon 19:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
delete looking at the names of the months, this is more of an amusing madeupinschooloneday than a serious proposal, despite the distinction of the inventor. DGG 02:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, and Peter Meyer goes so far as to say any calendar proposal that does not feature a seven day week (in spite of inherent inaccuracies introduced by this Biblical reference) is doomed. This calendar was not created for popular acceptance, profit or as a 'serious proposal' for any other purpose other than offering a solid, well-presented example of a Lunisolar calendar based on a relatively straight-forward calculation as per NOT original research.

delete - At one point in the recent past there were 60+ wikipedia links to the Meyer site, which is primarily a commercial site pure and simple (Meyer's own press release states this). Some links, such as the ones to commercial cellular automata software and the links to commercial prime number software, have been deleted multiple times from wikipedia. A non-notable self-published masters thesis on the site was linked to from three different wikipedia physics articles, in addition to being self-listed on dmoz multiple times. The site also has potential copyright issues - I have been unable to find a statement that any of the articles on the Meyer site written by others are published with the original author's permission. The 60+ former links to the site squandered any benefit of the doubt I might have once had about the author or his site. 4.246.200.154 05:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
