Orthogonality thesis

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Although Nick Bostrom is notable, it's unclear that the "orthogonality thesis" is notable in itself. Searching for the term inside quotes yields few results in Google. It appears that the idea has yet to gain traction. It may be worthy of its own entry at some point in the future, but for now I don't see that it is notable.

 * Delete. I couldn't find any third-party sources, which probably shouldn't be surprising as the thesis apparently hasn't been published yet. I think WP:TOOSOON applies here. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 16:09, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable now, probably won't be notable later, either. Not even a particularly interesting claim. Hairhorn (talk) 19:16, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability not established by primary source. Could be merged to Nick Bostrom, if the info is not there already. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:40, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

In view of the consensus on lack of notability, I accept that the page should be deleted. I will reinstate it only if it becomes more notable, with more sources. I'll remove links to the page from other areas. Cheesefondue (talk) 08:32, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - forthcoming means not yet ready. Bearian (talk) 22:21, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Instrumental rationality. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:05, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
