WP:FRINGE? WP:PROMO?

[edit]

"Regality Theory" was deleted in 2018. That discussion is here. I haven't looked that deeply into the sources on this page, but my quick read seems to indicate a lot of padding with evolutionary psychology references that are not directly referring to the specific topic. I don't know what has changed to make this page pass notability since the last deletion. A lot of references to how wings work, don't equal proof that your particular airplane can fly. It seems to me that this page should either be deleted or merged with Agner Fog, since they are the originators of the idea. But I'm open to be convinced otherwise. Can you provide WP:RS or point out the reference that refer to this theory in particular?DolyaIskrina (talk) 22:02, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link DolyaIskrina.
This page was written in April 2019 by Maia Wilson, a student editor at Washington State University. See WP:Wiki_Ed/Washington_State_University/Evolutionary_Method_and_Theory_in_Anthropology_and_Archaeology_(Spring_2019)
I don't think she had any knowledge of the old page.
A google search for regality theory and similar terms gives many references later than 2018, some by A. Fog, some by others. I think the article may benefit from some of the new references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.66.149.200 (talk) 16:57, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
