Please would someone explain why this should be deleted.
Because it's trivial - it's a minor plot device that can be, and is explained by a single sentence in every episode it shows up in, and nothing more. It duplicates information unnecessarily to have its own article and it's not even very interesting. See the VfD page. --khaosworks 14:57, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
But it does appear in more than one story. And, why does Captain Jack use it, anyway? That should mean that it has an origin... other than the Doctor. If it appears more in the 2nd season, or has an origin, then deleting it might be a bad idea. It would also keep people from having to explain it in every episode... And it would be nice to have a picture of the psychic paper... --Travlr2313:56, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball - if it becomes significant later, then we can always recreate the article. As it is, it's simply not notable, and has no significance othber than a plot device - which, as I said, we can dispose of in one sentence. "It makes people see what you want them to see." That's not hard. --khaosworks 14:35, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
