Promotional article for a neologism that is mainly used by DQ institute and its founder Dr. Yuhyun Park. Most of the sources in the article either do no mention the term, mention it in a one-liner, and/or are not RS or significant (i.e. a listing Dr. Park at a speaking event with some details). BEFORE doesn't show much use at all of the term, and what use there is tends to related to Park. Dr. Park or the DQ institute do not seem notable either from a BEFORE, but the neologism definitely is not. Icewhiz (talk) 11:29, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article is almost entirely about Dr. Park's definition, and most of it should be deleted as promotional regardless of the outcome here. I see some other coverage of the vague concept ([1] [2] [3]), but they all seem to be independent derivations of the term based on the analogy to IQ, and there is nothing that would support an encyclopedia article. power~enwiki (π, ν) 23:36, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
