Original research. Somebody took a term paper and pasted it into an article. The article itself states "The rationale, efficacy, and possible mechanisms of MIT will be addressed in this paper.". I'm noticing a lot of these lately. Maybe we should start directing people to SSRN. Contested prod. ... discospinster talk 18:42, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete. Fails WP:NOTESSAY by its own admission. And yeah, we're getting a lot of these lately, we really need a WP:CSD tag for "Blatant essay". - The Bushranger One ping only 19:47, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No we don't. Apart from the fact that that is not reliably determinable by one person (I've seen people think that something was an essay simply because it used Harvard-style citation links.), being essay-like is something that can be resolved with the editing tool in many circumstances. That's why we have the {{cleanup-essay}} cleanup tag. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Deletion policy and please do not abuse the deliberately limited criteria for speedy deletion.

- I am familiar with it, thanks. I also still believe that when an 'article' says "This is an essay", then it's an essay. There's a different between an essay-like article, for which cleanup-essay is indeed appropriate and should be used, and somebody's school project. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:52, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- We do delete articles that can only ever be OR essays, which we're probably going to do here; speedy delete is only to be used in very exceptional, obvious cases. Morgan Wick (talk) 23:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, merge, or incubate - currently this is a literature review, by the lead's own wording, substance, and format. An article has been created already on Melodic intonation therapy. That would require a complete re-write of the existing page, which is grounds for deletion, or merger. Bearian (talk) 22:03, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
