The Theory of Sensible Selfishness

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

This is a personal essay or original research. JohnCD (talk) 11:14, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: The article explicitly states that it is an original essay, saying, "My Senior English Honors Professor Theodore Zawada, introduced Ishmael to the class." Thus, delete per WP:OR and WP:NOT.  Qwyrxian (talk) 11:27, 30 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Can't help but agree. This is definitely a pure WP:OR essay, even written in first person. Redfarmer (talk) 11:56, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:MADEUP, WP:OR, WP:NOTESSAY, etc. Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  13:26, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete If the title were at all notable, it could be redirected to Enlightened self-interest, but it isn't, so delete it. First Light (talk) 23:05, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, as it is original research, maddeningly WP:MADEUP, and decidedly non-encyclopedic. The content is an exact duplicate of that found in the Sensible selfishness article, already mercifully deleted. --Seduisant (talk) 13:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The lack of sources makes this to a an essay full of original research. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  12:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
