The result was delete. It is out of the scope of Wikipedia to cover new research such as this. When/if there are reliable secondary sources covering this topic, recreation can be considered. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:00, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The article was created (and linked to) by an SPA who would certainly appear to be Mason himself. At any rate, Gscholar produces precisely two Ghits, both for Mason's publication of his theory in Complexity (journal), and nothing else. However, maybe editors versed in this field can suggest a redirect? If not, delete.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:38, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not yet notable extension of Shannon entropy, compare to the notability of Rényi entropy, formulated in the 1950s and 1960s. Smmurphy(Talk) 20:24, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-noted OR. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:51, 30 November 2016 (UTC).
 * Keep Whilst being an extension of Shannon Entropy the context isn’t Shannon Entropy but mathematical theories of consciousness. This area of research (which is completely distinct from topic areas such as artificial intelligence) has only gained funding support and recognition in the last decade or so and there are only two (or three, depending on what is considered to qualify) such theories published involving rigorous mathematics; the other being Integrated Information Theory. Consequently, removing the page would leave a significant contribution to this, currently small, field totally unrepresented. In addition to the two peer reviewed articles about the theory that the page references, the theory is also cited by independent authors; e.g. Sergio Pissanetzky, Causal Groupoid Symmetries, Applied Mathematics, 2014, 05, 04, 628 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmyxjwdm (talk • contribs) 18:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication of sufficient secondary sources to develop content from. Wikipedia is not the place to promote new ideas when they aren't yet established in the relevant literature. The idea needs to get decent coverage in the scientific literature first. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:38, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
