The result was '''Delete''' . OR fringe science thesis with many cherry-picked but wholly irrelevant sources. The early comments to this fact are not negated by the addition of ''different'' cherry-picked, irrelevant sources, as noted by pablomismo and Luckylouie. The kernal of fact here is already covered in [[Brain-computer interface#Military applications]]. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <font color="black">'''Bl♟ck'''</font>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] - [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 20:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

:*'''Keep (temporary stay of execution)''': I believe the comment that Tom made is correct. I have seen a number of documentaries discussing the use of psychics to 'remote view' locations during the Cold War. I have also seen a documentary on the use of 'psychic warfare' by the Germans and British during the Second World War. Having said of that, as Tom states, we need to keep a close eye on a subject like this as it can quite easily get filled up with outlandish claims, etc. As the article stands at the moment there seems to be a lot of sources cited and I could see the article being developed with some mention of the historic applications of telepathy in Second World War and the Cold War, however, it would need a number of committed contributors to produce this. Perhaps if there are a number of willing people, the article could be rewritten and then a peer review could be conducted. If the article was found not to be up to standard at peer review it could either be fixed, or go to AfD then. Having said all of this, rule number one is never volunteer, so let it be clear I'm not volunteering to work on this article. (That, of course, may be construed as a cop out). — [[User:AustralianRupert|AustralianRupert]] ([[User talk:AustralianRupert|talk]]) 02:07, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
::The article now seems to have morphed into a collection of items vaguely related to "Military Psychic Warfare and Spying" that lumps such stuff as [[remote viewing]] in with 'monkey's arm' type experiments. We already have a more encyclopedic (and less hysterical) treatment of the subject at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-computer_interface#Military_applications Brain-computer_interface#Military_applications]. - [[User:LuckyLouie|LuckyLouie]] ([[User talk:LuckyLouie|talk]]) 14:35, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
