Largely incoherent essay reflecting on various nebulous terms. Was not improved since 1292simon declined it at AfC but somehow made it into article space anyway. Paul ❬talk❭ 10:27, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I tried reading this last night at NPP and gave up. Reading it again, it seems to be an assembly of sourced snippets to valid statements about things that aren’t really connected. There may be a valid topic here but I don’t think this article really tackles it. Mccapra (talk) 13:41, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:TNT. Apparently it's a legit psychology term,[1], but unless someone wants to salvage this as a counterexample, it's best to start over. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:18, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete per WP:NOTESSAY and Clarityfiend. It is a vaguely New Agey–sounding essay at the moment, and there's hardly anything worth salvaging. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 17:15, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Indulgent self-help waffling of no encyclopedic value. XOR'easter (talk) 19:47, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
