To quote the proposed deletion rationale by {{u|Metaquanta}}, "This appears to be an essay supported by original research". I endorsed that PROD, as the article is a vague and rambling promotion of a paper that has vanished into obscurity (only [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=8616793242550557450 3 citations in a quarter-century], and all three of those are merely passing mentions). The PROD was declined because deletion had been proposed before, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Relational_approach_to_quantum_physics&oldid=248758289 in 2008]. The problems identified in 2008 still exist, and they're not going to be fixed. XOR'easter (talk) 16:43, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Delete: One could improve the article to make it factual and precise, but the fundamental problem can't be fixed: it fails WP:GNG. As the nominator noted, the paper upon which the article is based has only been cited three times. If I may add a personal observation, I'm a researcher in the field of quantum foundations, and I had never heard of this. Upon seeing the title I assumed it was about Rovelli's Relational quantum mechanics, and was surprised that it was being AfD'ed. I'm not a fan of Rovelli's interpretation, but it is undeniable that it is notable. Tercer (talk) 21:18, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

:*Yes, I discovered this page because there was a "not to be confused with" notice in the Relational quantum mechanics article, which is about something different and definitely notable. XOR'easter (talk) 22:52, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Delete The average daily page-view count for the first four months of 2020 was 4.[https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2020-01-01&end=2020-05-01&pages=Relational_approach_to_quantum_physics] And those views are probably from people who were looking for RQM. No one cares about this article. -Jordgette [talk] 16:38, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
