I debated speedying this under A11, since it only seems to appear in works by the user who created the article, but I'll elaborate further and note that the cited sources, other than ones authored by the user himself, don't actually mention this concept, and despite the creator's posting about his theory all over the internet, it nonetheless appears to be a hobbyhorse of one individual. An IP who may be the creator removed the PROD without addressing its concerns. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:18, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for self-aggrandizement & non-notability. As far as Google can discern, this term does not exist outside the writings of one "Prof. Dr." Danko Nikolic, and I'm reasonably confident that no peer-reviewed literature containing it exists either (or it would have been referenced by the article's creator, who is otherwise proficient in making an article pass as well-written and seemingly respectable). See also the article Autopoiesis, where the user Dankonikolic (Danko Nikolic, I presume) has been adding his own works as references to articles (an obvious conflict of interest, and user's other contributions will need to be checked.--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 20:05, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok then. Delete it. I am guilty of the crime. I guess I will have to wait until practopoiesis gets more famous and more often used by other authors. I will try deleting it myself but I am not sure whether I know how to do it. (Danko Nikolic) Update: I could only delete the text, not the article.

Speedy Delete given the apparent concurrence of the article author. PianoDan (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
