Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Real life (2nd nomination)
per excellent rationale by Mr.IP. The reality article is no place for this topic, which concerns a term used to distinguish mediated experience from non-mediated (compare meatspace). It only takes a minute of research to discover that this topic is notable; see for example Jansen et al. (2000) "Real life, real users, and real needs: a study and analysis of user queries on the web ",  Rasmussen and Jensen (1974) "Mental Procedures in Real-Life Tasks: A Case Study of Electronic Trouble Shooting", Byrne et al. (1970) Continuity between the experimental study of attraction and real-life computer dating.",  Funk et al. (2004) "Violence exposure in real-life, video games, television, movies, and the internet", Bensley et al. (2001) "Video games and real-life aggression". I could go on. How anyone could conclude that this topic fails to meet the |general notability guideline is beyond me. It appears that those looking to delete or redirect the article have neglected to do any research and have focussed mistakenly on the article's |current, rather than potential state
