As the text of the article makes clear and early versions of this article state explicitly, this is a student essay, not an encyclopedia article. The evolution of human intelligence is an encyclopedic topic, but one that we already have an article on, so this is also an unwarranted content fork (or would be if it had taken some information from that article rather than just making it up through original research). My earlier prod was removed by the sole editor of this article, an editor whose only contributions have been to this article (how is that even possible?) with the only explanation being "editing headings and sections". —David Eppstein (talk) 06:00, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In full agreement with David on this one. This is an essay representing an individual's take on a fairly complex subject (which adds WP:UNDUE concerns) and not an actual encyclopedia article. Pichpich (talk) 17:03, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I considered a merge with J. P. Guilford as this article seems to be about that person's theories. However this contains only uncritical commentary and no third-party sources on Guilford or his work.--Pontificalibus 08:04, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This seems surplus to requirements, and going nowhere needed. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:43, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Looks like your run-of-the-mill student essay. Not encyclopedic. — Stevey7788 (talk) 23:47, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
