Common barriers to problem solving

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It doesn't feel good to nominate an article like this, but good writing doesn't exempt from AfD any more than bad writing requires it. This appears to violate WP:SYN and WP:NOTESSAY. It was created by a WP:SPA (though a benevolent one; see this) who seems to have attempted to delete it a few months ago. BDD (talk) 04:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Merge into problem solving per WP:ATD. You could drop the whole thing into that article and it would work fine there. WP:SYN and WP:NOTESSAY don't seem to be relevant. Warden (talk) 07:18, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge per Colonel Warden. I was seriously concerned about the copyright status of this article.  I google-tested a few snippets and didn't get any matches.  The article history and author strongly imply it was written via Wikipedia and for Wikipedia--as part of a school project, but not as an essay or thesis or whatever to be handed in and graded.  --  stillnotelf   is invisible  19:14, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge per Col Warden and Stillnote, which seems sensible. Bearian (talk) 18:42, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
