This article doesn't mention it, but Generative Knowledge Interviewing is a brand-new trademarked product of UMich, and this article appears to be part of a promotional campaign from the department of the product's inventor, Melissa Peet. Could not find sufficient relevant Google cites for "Generative Knowledge Interviewing" with "-peet". Nothing on Scholar. Delete per WP:SPAM, WP:GNG. Zad68 (talk) 15:14, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unreferenced, no evidence of notability - this search yields only 92 results, even including Peet. Fails WP:VER, WP:GNG and of course WP:SPAM. andy (talk) 15:18, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I had my own doubts about this concept. The references I could find all appear to point back to a single paper published by Peet et al, and all appear to be an attempt to "spread the word" (i.e. a promotion campaign). WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:31, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: on that point, a quick googling reveals someone who is a "Generative Knowledge Investigator" at the University of Michigan and may well be the author of this article. Just saying. andy (talk) 00:10, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Blatant spam and a clearly not neutral string of glittering generalities: a methodology which aims to empower individuals and organizations to clearly identify and recognize the unconscious abilities and resources (e.g. values, strengths and capacities) they possess, and then use these hidden resources toward their work and life goals. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I was considering marking this for G11 speedy deletion myself, but decided that the promotion was a little too subtle to mark as such. Definitely too promotional for Wikipedia, though. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 15:45, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Since we're all here anyway, let's each take a moment to nominate entries for this article's most empty nonsense phrase or startling grade-school grammar boner. Here's mine: Once recovered, individuals are then able to use their essential tacit blah blah blah. I'm sorry... you're saying individuals do such-and-such once they've recovered? Recovered from what? Is this a rehab program? EEng (talk) 23:20, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
