Non-notable neologism with only a tiny handful of hits on Google Scholar. Lots of the research described in this article is real, but to call it "noometry" is WP:SYNTH. Bondegezou (talk) 19:23, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, "humorous neologism used by satirist Thomas Love Peacock" [1], no reliable sources use this term. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:21, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; neologism; essay; confuses mind and brain; the content is better covered elsewhere, such as at Neuron#Connectivity. Klbrain (talk) 21:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree with all of the above - good points. Google Scholar shows five obscure "articles" - none of the publications satisfy WP:MEDRS, i.e., none are reliable sources. A PubMed search for the term anywhere in any article indexed by MEDLINE, resulted in "Your search for noometry retrieved no results." The Oxford English Dictionary describes the word as "obsolete" and "apparently an isolated use" - referring to the satirical work by T.L. Peacock (1817).

Delete. Thank you, good people of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine where I raised this issue[2], I'm glad that my feeling that something was off here turns out to be correct. Fram (talk) 08:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear colleagues! I sincerely thank You for your efforts and reviews of the article. I kindly ask You to help and transfer the results of measurements, quantifications, and calculations, that are significant in your opinion, to special articles Neuron#Connectivity, Global brain, etc. Sincerely, I wish you health and creative success!

There is stuff in Noometry that might be of use in other articles. I don't see a specific, single destination to suggest for a merge or a redirect, but, Noophelia 2.0, you are free to use material elsewhere. Bondegezou (talk) 10:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will also be grateful to You for Your mutual assistance in the general highly-motivated and intellectual work, related to the unfolding of the World Brain. Noophelia 2.0 (talk) 11:22, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
