 * Strong delete. WP:OR and probably WP:COI as it was created by User:Rafie Hamidpour, the name of one of the authors of the essay. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:22, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Essay and OR. Mysterytrey 22:26, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete First time I've seen an article with an author.  As per the article, this is a "study", which is WP:OR, and WP:OR is a reason for deletion under our WP:Deletion policy...lots of references, though.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:32, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Again Essay and OR. Possible copyvio if the work was published, this is a paper or essay likely used for academia. The authors, Rafie Hamidpour Ph.D.,D.E.,DABFE and David H. Adams, B.S. have ownership of it. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:51, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete – Not even particularly insightful as an essay. We already have the Superpower and Potential superpowers articles, which touch upon these points. Regards, RJH (talk) 03:36, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as an original essay. Carrite (talk) 04:16, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per everybody above. Based on the formatting of the footnotes, I wonder if this may be a direct copy of a previously deleted Wikipedia article. But whatever else it is, it's a original research essay. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:02, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone above as completely unsuitable for WP. Is it snowing yet.........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:33, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
