Salmuian economic theory

This theory may not have achieved sufficient notability for inclusion in this encyclopedia. The article appears to be written by the inventor of the theory. The article is also written using finance terminology, and as a result becomes inaccessible to those not familiar with the concept already. Richard Cavell (talk) 06:13, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, there are a myriad of problems with this article, including the fact that it's badly written, uses so much jargon that I'm not 100% sure it's not just a joke or a parody of finance-speak, and this image. More relevant to this discussion, is the fact that I can't seem to find anything to verify that it actually exists - Google at the moment returns zero hits (I know Google isn't the be-all-and-end-all, but seriously, if this were real I'd expect at least newsgroup or forum hits), meaning that it fails both WP:V and WP:N, and that's if it's even genuine.

Delete Nothing by the author in G Books or G Scholar, and no reference for nomination for the prize either. DGG (talk) 08:59, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — echoing what DGG said as far as lack of verifiability is concerned, and will add that I only get the Wikipedia article and nothing else in a regular Google search. MuZemike (talk) 16:36, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-encyclopedic and not notable. First considered it as a hoax, but Fred Salmu is really graduated from the Wayne State University.Beagel (talk) 08:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
