This article is an attempt to publicise a brand new theory, announced to the world in a book published July 2013, which has not yet achieved notability. Whether it ever will do so remains to be seen: if and when it does we can have a Wikipedia article about it.
As originally written, the article was sourced only to the book in which the theory is published ("The Origin of Metazoa: An Algorithmic View of Life", by Rafaele Di Giacomo, Jeffrey H. Schwartz & Bruno Maresca). It is perhaps worth mentioning that the article was created by a single purpose account, every single one of whose edits publicises work by Rafaele Di Giacomo. The article was given a PROD saying, amongst other things, "Article is only sourced to a single paper from earlier this month", and, after the author of the article removed the PROD, the article was tagged with {{one source}}. After that, the author added a whole string more "references", evidently in an attempt to avoid the impression of there being only one source. However, all of those additional sources were published years before the invention of Cell recursion theory. In fact, these additional references are not actually used in the article as citations for any statement about Cell recursion theory: they are used as citations for other matters that the article tries to link to Cell recursion theory: for example, the article says Brenner also stated that: “Biology urgently needs a theoretical basis to unify it and it is only theory that will allow us to convert data to knowledge”, and gives a reference for that, but it does not say that Brenner actually said anything about Cell recursion theory; nor could it, as the cited source was published three years before the publication of Cell recursion theory.
I have just done a Google search for -wikipedia "Cell recursion theory", and got no hits at all. A search for "Cell recursion theory" produced all of seven hits. One was the Wikipedia article, and the other six were pages at www.alternativefuse.com, none of which actually mention "Cell recursion theory". (It seems that Alternativefuse is one of those sites that fakes Google hits for things it picks up from Wikipedia in order to attract custom. To make sure, I used Alternativefuse's own site search facility, and confirmed that Alternativefuse has no page at all mentioning Cell recursion theory.)
The long and the short of all that is that there is no evidence anywhere of satisfying Wikipedia's notability criteria. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:59, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
