Law of primacy of persuasion[edit]

5x expanded by Mdaly9 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:18, 25 April 2016 (UTC).

  • This nomination has several issues. Is this article intended to be specifically about primacy and persuasion? There is quite a bit of topical overlap between this article and Serial position effect, into which this article frequently drifts. This article is largely unwikified, with quite sparse citations. Moreover, I am concerned that this article appears to be written like an essay or literature review rather than an encyclopaedia entry; the vast majority of the sources appear to be primary sources. The choice of studies to summarize may consequently reflect synthesis on the part of the author. Intelligentsium 01:52, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
  • This appears to be a class project, with the DYK nomination of the articles created by the students being the task, with no requirement or intention to actually respond to comments or proceeding with the nomination. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:31, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
  • The class started in January, and none of the nominated articles from this college course have been edited for at least four weeks. At this point, we have to consider the class to be over, and the nominators to have moved on. Marking for closure as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:12, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
