This is a concept associated with one scholar (Nazli Choucri), with little indicating that it's a well-known and widely cited theory. The entire article is structured as an argument where strands of unrelated literature are brought together to advance the author's theory.

- Weak delete. I am in two minds about this one. On the one hand I agree that "the entire article is structured as an argument where strands of unrelated literature are brought together to advance the author's theory", but on the other hand Nazli Choucri does seem to be a well regarded academic, with extensive information about her on the web, and numerous publications. I find it surprising that there is no Wikipedia article about her, especially as at least one of her students (Richard K. Ashley) has a Wikipedia article. Someone ought to write one (not me: I don't know enough about her or her theories). Athel cb (talk) 08:49, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
