This article is pretty obviously WP:OR, and the author appears to have cited his own MSc thesis as a source (I removed that). Guy (Help!) 16:34, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Agree with the reason for deletion. Article appears to center around the thesis, which would make it WP:OR.--NavyBlue84 17:20, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as WP:OR, or failing that as not being notable per WP:N. The sources linked are largely authored by a single individual, which raises concerns about their independence, reliability, and plurality. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:44, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - The nomadic user is a direct consequence of ubiquitous computing. It's unclear to me how well established research into the namodic user is, so I am neutral for now. -- Whpq (talk) 20:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- DAFT and Speedy delete. This article is a joke. --Nat682 (talk) 18:51, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - This is far from a joke. What speedy deletion criteria do you think this meets? -- Whpq (talk) 19:54, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Convert to DAB. As I mention before, the "nomadic user" identified in this article is a direct consequence of ubiquitous computing, and is being researched in that context. For example, [1] is about such a nomadic user. However, nomadic user is also used to identify somebody who uses mobile computing: see [2]. After poking around, I am not convinced that "nomadic user" in the current article's sense is sufficiently differentiated from the topic of ubiquitous computing to make a good separate article. Combined with the fact that the same term is used to denote a mobile computing user, I suggest the page be turned into a disambiguation page with links to ubiquitous computing and mobile computing. -- Whpq (talk) 19:54, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
