Already tagged with an essay-like and notability issue, I'm pretty sure the accounts of creator RsR110097 and contributor Rassnau952 are both Ricardo Sanin-Restrepo himself, who is mentioned 31 times in the article total and 15 times used as a reference. This looks like a shameless promotion ("TEP has been developed mainly by the Colombian legal and political philosopher Ricardo Sanín-Restrepo"). Even if the topic is notable, WP:TNT'ing without Sanin-Restrepo's input is a better idea. Wikipedia is not a WP:SOAPBOX. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:51, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The text reads as near gibberish to me, perhaps a LLM (like ChatGPT) has generated it? Regardless, the prose is close to unintelligible to me and is not encyclopedic. If there is an actual underlying topic of value to Wikipedia, it is not evident to me. —

Delete. I just got done cleaning up a bunch of the COI editor's pushing of this concept at numerous high profile articles, including People and Constitution. I'm not able to find sources that cover this topic where the authors don't either include Sanin-Restrepo directly or relate to him in some way. There certainly are not enough independent sources to meet WP:GNG. - MrOllie (talk) 21:06, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've heard of the concept of decentralization of power using encryption before, but never this Sanin-Restrepo person. I suspect if this topic could have a wikipedia article written on it at some point in the future it might very well have a different title and likely would not include any of this current article's content. - car chasm (talk) 06:26, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
