I concur that Notability has not been established per WP:N or WP:ACADEMIC.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:05, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • In other words, you do believe that the author of this theory is relatively more notable than the theory itself, right? So, if the Wikipedians decide that this theory is notable indeed, then would you agree that its author is notable too? -- Biodemographer (talk) 04:54, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not necessarily. In the AfD of the "theory", there was an abundance of SPAs and a dearth of specialist editors. Even then, it does not necessarily follow that we need two stand alone articles for the "theory" and the scientist who came up with the hypothesis. The current article is conspicuously lacking in independent sources. --Randykitty (talk) 22:36, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gavrilov's principal claim to notability is the theory; the theory is his principal achievement. I believe that both are probably notable enough for this project, but we surely don't need two separate articles – the man and the theory can be amply covered in one page. In any case, the relentless self-promotion needs to stop. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:29, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. A merger (to this page) would be appropriate, as would turning the biographical page into a redirect (to here). NewYorkActuary (talk) 04:49, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A merge seems appropriate, also given the minimal size of the theory article. Gap9551 (talk) 21:32, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agree; merged to the theory page, as that is a notable idea written by two people (so a reverse merge wouldn't work).  Done Klbrain (talk) 22:47, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

[edit]

A number of editors of this article appear to have a close connection to the subject, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by following the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:35, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
