[edit] Synekism

Synekism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Article is confusing mass of information Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep; All the article needs is proper editing/expansion Irk_(talk) 00:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. 35 hits on Google; it's a neologism, apparently. -- Mikeblas 00:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; It seems like all this article would need is a little fixer-upper by someone who actually knows something about the topic. Mrmaroon25 00:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Edward Soja Koweja 00:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Edward Soja like stated above because all the google hits say something along the lines of "Soja's notion of synekism..." Wikipediarules2221 01:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Edward Soja Hello32020 03:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge (and redirect) to Edward Soja. Too much of a neologism to have its own page.- Mgm|^(talk) 10:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge. Its just a stray definition. DGG 19:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge or Delete I agree to the above that it's a reletively limited and new neologism, but from the article itself it appears to define the concept poorly, I could possibly agree to an article on it if the article asserted the notability of the theory or its importance in context. I have some sociology background and I've never heard the term, maybe it's more common at the higher levels, but in my opinion, for this to be a full article it needs to A: assert the importance of the theory B: explain it better in vernacular that is understandible by the layperson and C: cite more specific sources.

• Merge into Edward Soja. Doing so will help the Soja article which could also use some attention. I've identified an article by Soja and a book review about his work that are more recent than anything currently listed at the current Soja article and will update Soja's page with this material.

• FYI I am working on updating the references as promised, now ... :-) Keesiewonder 11:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• I've linked synekism to Edward Soja. Can the former's linkless tag be removed during an AfD? Keesiewonder 12:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - I'm willing to settle for a merge; this probably wasn't the smartest afd I've submitted. If anyone is willing to complete the merge, I would be glad to withdraw my request (I think I'm allowed to do so in this situation). Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 14:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
