Ingenuity

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Content fork of creativity and possibly innovation. For example, where it refers to "teachers encouraging students to be educated in human ingenuity", the word used in education policies and programmes such as 21st century skills is "creativity" (and sometimes "innovation"). It's also barely sourced, and appears to promote the work of a single living individual. OsFish (talk) 03:03, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The article reads like a weird OR personal essay that's meant to promote some person in a vailed way. There's zero evidence "ingenuity" in this context is a meaningful or notable thing either. Going off the lackluster references it doesn't seem to be. So, ultimately, nothing is worth keeping about the article. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete As noted above, it's a personal essay full of WP:OR that strikes a rather promotional tone. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 19:00, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT: the topic might be notable - I found some mention in psychometrics, e.g. - but there is no encyclopedic content in the article worth preserving beyond the dictionary-depth definition, and that is at Ingenuity (disambiguation) already. &mdash; Charles Stewart (talk) 07:44, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks for trying to find sources. I had a look at that paper, and when they say "ingenuity" they also describe that parenthetically as "creativity"; in the psychometric test they use to assess "ingenuity" (Berlin Intelligence Structure), that component is usually labelled "creativity". So they clearly mean what is normally called creativity. OsFish (talk) 08:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
