Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Our memory and its capacity

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. The consensus below is that this article is an unsalvageably unencyclopedic essay that should be deleted. Sourced information on the topic can be added to The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, but the consensus is that nothing in the article currently meets the criteria for merging.

Unencyclopedic, reads like an essay. Partially duplicates The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two; any new content might be incorporated there. —teb728 t c 01:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's a little confusing to read, due to the structure, I suppose, but I'm going to ride with the nom's statement of duplicity and essay factor. Moreover, in reading it, it almost sounds like there was promotion of an expert. But again with the confusing thing. Maybe I need coffee to read it.... --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 02:04, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with all that has been said above, this is a mess that at this point does not seem rescuable, due to its essay-like topic (title). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 14:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The ref titles make it look exactly like 7 +/- 2. They may contain some useful content, but this article is not for an encyclopedia. Chris857 (talk) 14:51, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Improvement is NOT a reason for deletion. If need be starta merge discussion and redirect OR clean it up.Lihaas (talk) 08:53, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
