Added a subsection summarizing the concept of teleonomic creativity (Pudmenzky, 2001–2003). Sources include a PhD thesis, a conference paper, and a peer-reviewed mathematical journal article. Section written neutrally with [citation needed] tags where independent adoption is not yet verified. Lexi2025 (talk) 08:20, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This section would need much stronger claims to notability to retain. It seems even you yourself doubt it given the line in the last para "While teleonomic creativity has not yet achieved broad adoption in mainstream creativity studies". If this has not yet achieved adoption after more than 20yrs it is unlikely it ever will. Also central concepts/author are redlinked (so probably not notable). PhD dissertation and conference proceeding may be ok but likely primary sources and among those not of prime importance. A single reviewed paper (once again primary) add little substance.

Please make a convincing case this idea is currently relevant to mainstream debate by providing secondary sources before re-adding. Arnoutf (talk) 08:57, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
