Withdrawn by nominator. I no longer think this is a personal essay.

essay-like qualities have been removed, please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve this article without resulting in deletion

It's still a personal essay and this very specific topic fails
WP:GNG. No amount of editing is going to rescue this.

Could you explain to me why this is still a personal essay, so I don't make another mistake? I am trying to report information without any ulterior motives other than to provide impartial knowledge. Also, can it be said that this is too specific in comparison to other similar pages such as
Eye movement in reading and
Eye movement in music reading?

I've gone over what I have written and agree that it is too complicated and technical for users to understand (if that was what you were meaning), so in any subsequent work I'll make sure it is easier to read. Thanks for your input

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Keep The nomination is based upon
WP:NOTESSAY. That advises us to avoid, "personal essays that state your particular feelings about a topic (rather than the opinions of experts)". But the page in question is not a personal essay of this sort as the author and his personal views are largely invisible and the statements made are well supported by reasonably expert sources. As an example of such sources, see Eye Movement Control During Scene Viewing which amply demonstrates the notability of the topic. There's not much needed here except some ordinary editing but
AFD is not cleanup. We should also thank the author for his contribution and apologise for this
vexatious process.
