[edit] Interior design 1950's

This article is original research. I put a cleanup tag on it a while ago because I thought something could be salvaged from it, but the more I look at it the more I can't find anything to merge anywhere, since everything here is advancing the argument of what is, in fact, an essay.

• Delete. I have graded the essay. It gets an F. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 01:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. While the current version and location looks unacceptable, I think there could be a good article about interior design trends in 1950s America (and other countries). Maybe I just say this because I'm renovating a house with some wacky 1950s-era design choices under the carpet/wallpaper! But interior design, very different every 10 years or so, is a notable part of culture. --W.marsh 01:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Sure, I'd support a History of interior design or some such. But individual decades probably don't merit an article. Chick Bowen 02:12, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
    • I think you will find that individual decades of the 20th century probably do merit an article. For that matter, though there are fewer people capable of contributing, it is possible to go decade by decade back into the 19th century. 18th century, the span between major changes it a bit larger. Heck, changes in fasion for interior decoration goes back to the ancient Egyptians and earlier. I encourage W.marsh to start a better article on 50's interior design.

• Delete as original research. --Merovingian (t) (c) 01:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete no substance, could qualify as original research if the article had original research in it. My chief question is, are there such pages for other decades, and if so, what are the formats used. In any event, this is a very weak entry. Stu 19:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

No, Stu, this is the only one. Chick Bowen 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
