Sentience quotient

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is substantially based on a single primary source - labeled as problematic for such for ten years with no improvement. Two sections are original research. The neologism appears almost unused. There's a list of passing mentions at the end, but it's entirely unclear these are even about Freitas' notion. News search shows no hits, general Google search shows Freitas' usage. I PRODed this previously, but it was objected to; however, nothing more in the way of sourcing has come up since. David Gerard (talk) 18:17, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete feels like WP:FRINGE and/or WP:OR. Insufficient referencing. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:03, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing in Google Scholar that I would consider WP:RS. The closest is "Stellivore Extraterrestrials? Binary Stars as Living Systems" (2016) (4 cites), which speculates that binary stars may be alive and weirdly takes the time to explain the concept of the sentience quotient on page 5, but then forgets to ever mention it or use the concept in any way in the rest of the paper. Not all peer-reviewed journals are created equal. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 06:07, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
