An activist nominated the full CGR article for deletion. The result was no consensus. The activist deleted it anyway. You can read the discussion here.
Current CGR link (after deletion) points to Moshe Carmeli#Cosmological General Relativity. The history of edits can be found here.
There were some good points made about sourcing in the discussion. Originally, I tried to stick very closely to sources from the two authors most closely involved with developing the theory, so that it would be as true as possible to the core of the theory. However, the consensus seems to be that I should include as many viewpoints from as many sources as possible, which is a fair critique. My intent is to rewrite and re-source the article based on input in the discussion (at least from the non-biased crowd). Below is my original submission.
Cosmological General Relativity (CGR) is a cosmological theory developed by Israeli theoretical physicist Moshe Carmeli that provides an alternative view of the fundamental framework of the universe in contrast to the standard cosmological model or Big Bang Theory. It extends Einstein’s theories of general relativity and special relativity from a four-dimensional space-time to a five-dimensional space-velocity. Physicist John Hartnett and others have extended the theory, and examined its implications. While the theory is neither widely known nor accepted, it has mathematical elegance, predictive and explanatory power equal to or greater than the theory of general relativity, and if correct, revolutionary implications.
"In recent times, ... one effort is especially noteworthy. Dr. Moshe Carmeli’s attempt at extending the concept of Special Relativity to the larger picture - our Cosmos. In his famous paper ‘Cosmological Special Relativity: The Large-Scale Structure of Space, Time and Velocity’ published in 1997, Dr. Carmeli has laid the framework for Cosmological Special Relativity."[1]
