	I don't believe the champion of the item understands the use of TT items. This process isn't for research of speculation, sourced or unsourced. It could bear the review of existing or creation of new articles relating to the question, but my cursory look appears to believe this is a question that cannot be answered without more aired information. Another TT proposal by the same contributor appears to be similar in intent. I will be dropping a note on the user's page with more information but won't do anything to this or the second TT items until we have some more thoughts and what to do. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 02:33, 22 August 2007 (CDT)		I don't believe the champion of the item understands the use of TT items.
