The result was keep but severely chop. There seems to be a general consensus that this article is deeply, deeply flawed, to the point where there are no previous revisions we can simply revert to fix the problem. While AFD is not for cleanup there are sometimes cases where an article is so bad that is preferable to just remove it altogether and start over than to try and fix the existing one, so I do not consider this a misuse of AFD and the rationale for a speedy keep is explicitly rejected. However, there is no consensus that I can see as to whether there should be an article at all on this subject, so the article is being reduced to a stub, and I will note on the talk page that simply reverting to an earlier version of the article is contrary to the consensus established here.

This is not a typical request for 'deletion' discussion. Over the years this article has evolved from its original cast into an opinion piece, promotion for an educational theory, and a vehicle for inline spam links. Concerns have been voiced on its talk page. I came to this article from one of its many backlinks and began to remove some of the promotional bold text, but as many subsequent editors have contributed to what it now is, I finally decided to bring it here for a community review. My recommendation would be to revert it to the last edit by its creator and to ensure that all 'references' are reliable and verifiable, and if not, delete it.
