Universal intelligence

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article freely mixes two topics: one is an extension of the pseudoscientific concept of "innate intelligence" or "innate", dreamed up by the "magnetic healer" and inventor of chiropractic, BJ Palmer; the other is a term in AI but not one with great currency (and it's overwhelmed here by the bullshit version).

 * Delete. We need some WP:TNT here. Blow it up and start over with the AI term which is more usual. The innate intelligence ideas need to be described at the other article. jps (talk) 11:55, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per the above. The material on chiropractic seems to be relevant for inclusion in the innate intelligence article above, and I would have no particular objections to having this article relate to the AI term, with maybe a hatnote regarding how in the innate intelligence article covers the chiropractic material.

 * Delete with WP:TNT. The AI usage coverage is also worse than no article at all - David Gerard (talk) 16:54, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete; removed the bait-and-switch with AI right now, it's another subject entirely. As for the rest, as far as woo goes I don't see that this particular strain has any notability. At least not under that name. — Gamall Wednesday Ida (t · c) 15:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, most of the referencing appears to be poor in quality and the article does not appear encyclopedic. Sagecandor (talk) 11:34, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chiropractic and merge what can be. Innate intelligence would be a better target as things are, but I believe that article should be merged there as well.
 * Unfortunately, going by a quick search online, the chiropractic meaning of the term (along with other mysticism nonsense whose affiliation to chiropraxy is hard to confirm or infirm) is by far the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I would be sympathetic to a WP:IAR claim to have the AI article as primary topic, but that is not supported by the guidelines. Tigraan Click here to contact me 15:24, 13 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment According to a normally reliable source "I believe there's an intelligence to the universe, with the exception of certain parts of New Jersey". So, I suggest deleting New Jersey. Thincat (talk) 19:10, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
