Original research
I am sorry to have made a discouraging comment when restoring your draft Draft:Theolution, but it would be a pity for you to waste time on something which is most unlikely to make an acceptable article. The reason is that an encyclopedia is not a place for publishing new ideas, and one of Wikipedia's key content policies is No original research, which is worth reading in full but includes in particular:

"If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery", and "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources."

However, we have a sister project, Wikiversity, which has a more general scope and does not prohibit original research; it might be worth your while investigating that as a possible host for your material. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:52, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
