  • Keep Over 10,000 Google hits shows notability of "ego depletion." The article has three cites to major refereed scientific journals. The concept seems an important one and the article meets the requirements for Wikipedia in terms of multiple reliable and verifiable sources. Edison 19:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete 10K Ghits is not a lot. In my personal opinion, as a medically qualified person this article fails on WP:BOLLOCKS.--Anthony.bradbury 22:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep per multiple independent nontrivial coverage. The citations in the article plus others[1] [2] etc --Kubigula (talk) 02:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep This appear legitimate. The problem is it needs to be expanded and I'm not sure how much more information could be found. Davidpdx 11:01, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Ego depletion is a key concept in social psychology. It is is primarily discussed in relation to the topic of self-regulation. Ego depletion is relevant to the study of why people fail to achieve their goals, such as people who are dieters or who are trying to quit smoking. The cited articles are primary source material for this concept. R. Baumeister is one of the most prolific modern social psychological researchers. This concept is based on his work. I am a Ph.D. candidate in social psychology. Osubuckeye 6:11 15 December 2006 (UTC)
