Talk:Crisis of 2020

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion on 14 April 2006. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

I feel like the beginning of the article needs an adjective that distinguishes how the book was written between the two people (such as the word "jointly-written or something). I don't know the details of the two authors though to modify the beginning...

But what is the nature of the predicted crisis? Comparing it to a war or the Depression doesn't tell us much. Or is it more like "Some crisis will occur, but who knows what it will be?"

Yeah, I think this artical is like a weatherman saying "I predict conciderable darkening tonight, followed by scattered lighting in the morning hours". It really needs a bit more information. But I've not read ethier of the books so I really can add anything at the moment. --Silver86 17:46, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Im guessing that its going to be in 2020, and it'll be a crisis. Definetly, I think I hit the nail on the head.

Seems to me like this article is a candidate for deletion. I can't think of any way to augment it past its current stub status. If anyone actually has some info on this, please expand the article, otherwise maybe we should remove it? Kebes 17:50, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Why delete when it could easily be merged into Culture Wars, the preceeding era in Strauss and Howe's schema?--Nectarflowed ^(talk) 23:49, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't care if it stays or goes, but this should not be placed under the category of sociology. Neither author is a sociologist, and their books, writings, and "life course theory" are not sociological. Social, but not sociological.

To clarify, the "life course" is a concept alive and well in sociology, but is essentially unrelated to this work.

I still think this article is rather odd. It's a postulated crisis of unknown origin and unknown type? -- Mithent 01:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• tagged for context... what is the crisis and why do we care? This is a borderline AfD situation as WP:NOT for crystalballism or merge to the book Generations. I'm going to give it a few weeks to see if the article can come together before I AfD it though.--Isotope23 20:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I ran across this while looking at the Lost Generation Generations table and I went ahead and nominated this for deletion. This is speculative clap-trap that doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Madman 20:40, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
