Amygdala scripts

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The only usage that Google shows for the term "amygdala script" is in an advertisement for a forthcoming book by Timothy B. Stokes, the apparent author of this article. It looks like the book will be published by Rutgers University Press, which will make it a reputable source once it comes out, but it isn't one yet. In short, there might be a valid article on this topic in a few months, but the current article is premature. None of the sources listed in the article use the term at all; it is an invention.

 * Comment. Sometimes academics come up with non-notable original ideas too.  Google Scholar finds nothing on "amygdala scripts" or "amygdala script".  The cited references would appear not to support a separate article under this title, although something on emotional memory or a less idiosyncratic and more obvious term might support an article.  Delete this; but given the lack of current discussion of the title phrase, I doubt this will support an article even after the book appears.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Insufficient notability to meet guidelines. Possibly merge somewhere? ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Non notable, and given the lack of other sources using the term, also seems to violate WP:NOT. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 17:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
