Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Duplicate Record Detection
Without easy access to any of the sources, I can't confirm |OR. However, the fact that this was copied word for word from a thesis or essay, whether or not permission is given is a problem. First, it is written in first person, using "we" and describing it as a paper or essay. Also, it's too long; it's perfect for a long research paper, but encyclopedia articles, while comprehensive, should only give an overview of the topic while this goes very much in depth, over 120KB (recommended max is 32-50). This would probably better on Wikiversity
