AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced stub on an academic study, with little more than a bald statement of the conclusion, and not much detail on anything useful. Delete Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 13:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into either perception or philosophy of perception. There is some information here that could be expanded on, but it doesn't look like it would stand as an article in its own right. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 02:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Rename and rewrite We do not normally include articles on individual scientific studies unless they are very important. The author himself, J. B. Deregowski, Univ. of Aberdeen,  is in fact known for a variety of  related work, and might be worth an article: 116 articles in Web of Science, the most cited cited 69 times. I have not tracked down the particular experiment being referred to, it may be BRITISH JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY 59: 195  1968.   I note that neither the author nor the nom apparently actually looked up the study, or the scientist, even in GS. My guess is the the article is a note from a class lecture.

 * Delete or Merge into Perception. It is difficult to understand why this particular study is worth an article. (Oddly, even the study, itself, is not referenced in the article. "Pictorial perception and culture" (1972) from Sci. Am. 227:82-88, is an easy version to locate, but Deregowski published a number of papers on the topic over the years.) No evidence of notability is provided. Tim Ross ·talk  12:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as insufficiently notable. — Satori Son 15:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
