Article recreated[edit]

Pinging participants from the February deletion discussion: @Apocheir, @Krinndnz, @Velella. This version, translated from Español, has more to evaluate than the prior version of the article. I've restored the edits from the deleted version for comparison. Please take this to AfD if the same issues remain. czar 14:36, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it definitely has problems with unreliable and self-published sources, as well as synthesis and original research. Maybe one of the Spanish-language sources establishes notability, and it was missed during the February deletion discussion. (I don't know Spanish and didn't think to search for "Teoría de Olduvai" instead of "Olduvai Theory".) I'm honestly not sure where to start with this one.

I also see all of the problems you have listed. Stubbing the article might be the next logical step, keeping only RS that specifically discuss the theory.Dialectric (talk) 07:37, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
