This irretrievably fails WP:NPOV and WP:WEIGHT, to the point that it's impossible to write a neutral article. Simply put, the only sources we have are existing ones; even though this purports to cover both existence and nonexistence, there are absolutely no nonexistent sources here to counterbalance those which do exist. Furthermore, even if we did begin to use nonexistent sources they'd still fail WP:V, and any we could verify would by definition have to exist. Therefore, Wikipedia would be better off applying TNT to this mess at least until we can find a workaround enabling us to include nonexistent sources.

Keep nominator has obviously not even looked at the invisible and incorporeal list of nonexistent references. – Teratix ₵ 06:26, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Seems inherently circular (albeit not WP:CIRCULAR), since sources that prove that the concept of existence exists, exist. At least that is what I think. --bonadea contributions talk 10:23, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Clear lack of notability. There is no meaning to existence. Every breath we take, we move one step closer to our demise. We live our lives killing time, as time kills us. Dark Knight 2149 17:23, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
