Non-encyclopedic, original research, POV. This reads like a school essay--a fairly good school essay, but still not appropriate for Wikipedia. Justin Eiler (talk) 14:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed as per nom. Paste (talk) 14:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete reads like an essay and a possible copyvio as The views expressed in this paper are of the author and not of the institute in which he is employed is written at the bottom. Either way it is not suitable content for an encyclopedia. AngelOfSadness  talk  14:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. – ukexpat (talk) 15:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete as POV-laden essay -- and per AngelOfSadness, a possible copyvio too. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete a WP:SOAP vio. Wikipedia is no place for personal essays. almost entirely original research, That text written at the bottom is either points to copyvio or a possible attempt at page ownership. Doc StrangeMailbox Orbitting Black Hole Strange Frequencies 16:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A bit cruel to call it a school essay - the author claims to be a senior research officer! -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The title already has a strong POV built into it, so it's not surprising to find that the actual article is just a POV-laden essay. Klausness (talk) 21:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Considering the depth of agreement, I'm going to go ahead and put this up for speedy under the snowball clause. Justin Eiler (talk) 21:43, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
