Non notable. The article has exactly one source, and extensive searching doesn't turn up any other relevant sources.

My searches found a music album with this name, significant unrelated hits for "presence-absence paradox", and some apparent Google-books search hits which are actually repackaged copies of Wikipedia articles (invalid as pure WP:CIRCULAR). Alsee (talk) 00:53, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – I can't find any other relevant sources either. (Though Google Books did suggest a David Icke tract as a "related item" at one point, which is always fun.) And even in the best hypothetical case, it doesn't seem to stand on its own as an article. If it were more clearly written, and if there were more evidence of the topic being discussed under this name, then the material might fit somewhere.

• Delete - can't find any coverage suggesting it has any cultural relevance. I actually found more hits for an unrelated term, presence-absence paradox. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 19:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
