Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Our Fragile Intellect (2nd nomination)
High-profile journals and universities with good publicity machines manage turn several new scientific studies, especially ones with supposedly sensational implications, into media events every week in the sense that lots of newspapers and websites will reprint slightly altered versions of the associated press releases (or superficial commentaries thereon). I think it goes against the spirit of policies such as , , , and  to turn this clickbait material into Wikipedia articles. Crabtree's article is an excellent example of this kind of study: devoid of scientific interest, but intensely publicized for a brief period of time because of its "bold" claims and intense PR efforts
