Relational Interpretation Competitive Evaluation (RICE) Theory

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article whose central topic seems to be the work of two researchers and is sourced exclusively to their own work. I cannot find papers or books that could ascertain that this is a notable or established concept. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 22:37, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looks like yet another essay. Looks like something that should have been sent to a peer reviewed journal? Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_publisher_of_original_thought. Dloh cierekim 08:08, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding "not a scientific journal" - this is true, but if this theory has been published and cited in enough places that it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines, then writing an article that explains the topic is not a problem. Many articles on graduate-level mathematical topics exist and, because the topics are notable, they stand even though they are written like a scientific journal article might be written. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:32, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

True, but the idea is not supported elsewhere. Dloh cierekim 05:28, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per lack of any evidence of WP:Notability in the article and lack of evidence when I did a Google web search of "Relational Interpretation Competitive Evaluation". davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:40, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The subject may be too esoteric that it does not meet our notability guidelines. It may be a real theory but very hard to substantiate in our requirements. Mkdw ^talk 01:22, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
