Prosimos

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

Ephemeral project. Most of the article devoted to a discussion of the current state of the problem, reasons why this project should be done, etc. Most of it seems to be original research or, at best, synthesis. No reliable third-party sources about the project (most "references" in the article are about other subjects and don't even mention this article). De-PRODded by article creator, who commented on my talk page that "this is a preparatory action, so its impact can not be assessed right now, but in years to come after several more actions and outputs", which violates WP:NOTCRYSTAL. In the absence of any evidence of notability: delete. Crusio (talk) 12:07, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Holy moley, this is one of the longest unreferenced articles I've ever seen. Although there is one primary references here, the nature of the content in the WP article seems to be largely unsubstantiated by the primary source. As noted by the nominator, the article IMO is a case of WP:OR. Also, the creator's assertion that we should be waiting for years is clearly WP:CRYSTAL. WP can wait without the article and see if it becomes notable, thank-you-very-much. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 16:14, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, essentially per nom. May become notable in the future, but for the moment manifestly fails WP:GNG. Nsk92 (talk) 17:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article appears to be packed with original descriptions WP:OR and synthesis WP:SYN. Also it seems to be full of material not clearly pertaining to the topic Prosimos. And, again all this appears to be original material not derived from sources, but more likely from someone's self-knowledge. Furthermore, the creators/editors of this article have stated this will be signifigant in the future, but may not be considered signifigant now [1]. The website seems to indicate this is merely a proposal that could direct pertinent research efforts. This seems to contradict WP:CRYSTAL. Also this article is severly lacking in independent, reliable, third party sources. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 05:14, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
