Proposed deletion of Optimal thinking edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Optimal thinking, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable WP:NEOLOGISM, borderline spam for non-notable book, no reliable 3rd-party references per WP:RS, can find nothing supporting notability online

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Optimal thinking edit

Thanks for your message on my talk page. Please note that I didn't delete the article: I only proposed it for deletion. If you want to request undeletion, the deleting administrator was User:C.Fred. Thanks, MuffledThud (talk) 20:58, 4 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • First, the good news: I've restored Optimal thinking. However, I think the flaws—namely, lack of independent sources—remain and are great enough to warrant deletion. So, the article is nominated for deletion (see below). Discussion will last seven days, and the established consensus at the end of discussion will determine whether the article stays or is deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 02:38, 5 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Those are all from Optimal Thinking itself, though. –Juliancolton | Talk 16:41, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
