Envy Theory

Pure WP:ESSAY and WP:OR. Sources cited, but the article is not written in an encyclopedic tone. Suggest WP:USERFY. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 14:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This theory has yet to receive any substantial acceptance by sicentists. The main source referenced was by the author of the theory. The other sources releate mostly to the MNS and no to the topic. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 15:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to be a promotion of the author's own theory. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:44, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Do not delete This is an important contribution to "science in the process of discovery" by a distinguished Yale psychiatrist. It is a scholarly work that expounds upon an unelaborated proposition ("envy")in classical psychoanalysis. Please give it a chance. {User: plantforestsoil} June 15, 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plantforestsoil (talk • contribs) 18:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Searching the Yale University website, I find no indications that Dr. Ninivaggi is "distinguished" in any way -- he is an associate professor of clinical child psychiatry. I can find no reviews of this book either at its entry in Google Books nor at Google Scholar.  Since the author if this article has made no contributions to Wikipedia other than to expound upon Dr. Ninivaggi's theories, one may reasonably presume that the author is Dr. Ninivaggi himself, which makes this article original research.  If one does not make that leap, the article still fails notability guidelines, as no one other than Dr. Ninivaggi and  seem to have taken any notice of this theory.
