Deprodded without improvement, this appears to be a personal essay, based largely upon a single work. Delete as per WP:NOTESSAY. Searches turned up zero in-depth coverage of this topic. Complete WP:SYNTH. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:08, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, um, what the heck is "mentation"? Great that is has FOUR theories, let's figure out what it is first. Not sure who the article is for, certainly not a general audience, if they get tripped up on the title. Oaktree b (talk) 19:42, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Yikes. I'd normally suggest a redirect to Cognitive neuroscience of dreams but the content is too much SYNTH to even warrant that, and the title is very unlikely to be used. Ovinus (talk) 20:13, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - My mentation has me believing that this article fails WP:GNG. This article appears to be a WP:SYNTH of the sources, which themselves do not appear to actually support the article's subject. - Aoidh (talk) 16:28, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This article does not warrant a deletion. I would rather amend this entire article than remove it. The research here is not entirely original and can still be changed to fit Wikipedia’s guidelines. To respond to Oaktree, Mentation is defined as “mental activity”, and it doesn’t matter who the “audience” you so talk about is aligned to fit with. That doesn’t matter. Every Wikipedia article must have the same tone. I do agree that this article is in the layout of a personal essay, but that is not enough for deletion. If it can be improved and reworked into a Wikipedia article, then go help and fix it. Also, dream mentation does have linked sources.
