*'''Delete'''; there is already [[Mindworm]] and [[earworm]] and this adds nothing except the claim that ''"it seems to be some sort of synaptic short-circuit"'' which is ludicrously misleading since it suggests that this conjecture (obviously vastly oversimplified) constitutes established fact. ---[[User:Hillman|CH]] 10:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Redirect to [[Mindworm]]''' or '''Delete'''. This is not a real word with a similar meaning to [[earworm]]. In fact, the only evidence I found of its use as a word outside of aliens in computer games is[http://www.realjournalism.net/pressass.htm]: "Mind Worm is a new word that I just made up...A Mind Worm is a lie that is constructed in such a way that it is mentally addictive and highly contagious...", etc. This is not the same meaning as [[ear worm]].

This is a neologism for earworm --BennyD 02:45, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to earworm --NMChico24 02:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, fails WP:NEO. No one's going to search for this. --Coredesat 03:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per above Nuttah68 09:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to Mindworm. —Lamentation :( 11:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to earworm, but with a note on earworm that "Mind worm redirects here. For the comic character, see Mindworm." Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 21:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Absent any reliable source that the word sees signficant use in this sense, as opposed to simply being made up in school one day as I strongly suspect, it shouldn't redirect to earworm. If I create an article at blu that states it's a machine that flies through the air, it gets either deleted or redirected to blue as a misspelling, but certainly not redirected to airplane. —Lamentation :( 06:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

- Delete; there is already Mindworm and earworm and this adds nothing except the claim that "it seems to be some sort of synaptic short-circuit" which is ludicrously misleading since it suggests that this conjecture (obviously vastly oversimplified) constitutes established fact. ---CH 10:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to Mindworm or Delete. This is not a real word with a similar meaning to earworm. In fact, the only evidence I found of its use as a word outside of aliens in computer games is[1]: "Mind Worm is a new word that I just made up...A Mind Worm is a lie that is constructed in such a way that it is mentally addictive and highly contagious...", etc. This is not the same meaning as ear worm.
