The result was merge to Tom R. Burns. In addition to the two comments from other editors, the nominator expressed support for a merge elsewhere [1] as well, so there seems to be consensus to merge. (non-admin closure) Toadspike [Talk] 00:33, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

This concept seems to be original research from a group of a few researchers from Uppsala university. I couldn't find references to this concept other than the primary sources of the researchers themselves.
It seems closely related to the concept of "Generalized game theory", which I have also nominated for deletion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Generalized_game_theory).
Similarly to Generalized game theory, my recommendation would be to merge this article into the page of "Tom R. Burns", or alternatively to create a page dedicated to the "Uppsala Theory Circle" that summarizes the key concepts these authors are developing 7804j (talk) 08:04, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

- Weak keep or Merge - for the same reason as in the GGT !vote - its a concept that exists, is (or was) used, and has multiple peer reviewed sources. Merging, if that is the choice, would be to GGT if that article is kept or to the Burns page. Smmurphy(Talk) 15:52, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Merge: As per nom and also my vote on the GGT AfD. Appropriate target would be indeed the page "Tom R. Burns". Eventually, somone who is familiar with Burn's scholarship (or willing to become so), should make the effort to structure the various concepts in his article into one overarching one.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
