Line 18:

: (1) Research published in an academic journal is a Primary Source. Primary sources have caused a lot of problems for us in the past, so we limit where and how they may be used. Our policy on [[WP:PRIMARY|Primary Sources]] begins: ''Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability''. The short summary of our [[WP:N|Notability]] policy requires an article topic ''has received significant coverage in ''(multiple)'' reliable sources that are independent of the subject''. [[Transparallel processing]] only cites primary sources by a single author, and as far as I could determine the additional sources in [[Transparallel mind]] don't mention the that concept. My Google search turned up no independent sources to support either topic.

: (2) Our [[W:COI|Conflict of Interest]] policy begins with ''Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial or other relationships''. Someone with a conflict of interest isn't the most impartial person to decide whether we should have an article, or how it should be written. I'll move further discussion of the COI software alert to usertalk. [[User:Alsee|Alsee]] ([[User talk:Alsee|talk]]) 15:55, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

: (ad 1) I understand the criteria. with which it is hard to argue -- except that it would be a pity to loose these well-founded alternatives to [[Quantum computing]] (which, unlike [[Transparallel processing]], is not yet feasible) and the highly controversial [[Quantum mind]] idea. In other words, I hope for your clemency.

: (ad 2) The general definition of COI is clear, but I don't see how it would apply to this particular case. That external link simply refers to anthropological information relevant to the subject. [[User:Gumum|Gumum]] ([[User talk:Gumum|talk]]) 08:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
