[edit] Class envy

Class envy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Dictionary definition with a generous helping of original research added. Unsourced since mid-2006. It's possible that a decent article could be written on the subject, but the existing one is so bad that we'd be better off nuking it and starting over from scratch. *** Crotalus *** 04:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. --Kleinzach (talk) 05:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete nuke it and keep it dead, non-notable, flirts with WP:NEO. -Jahnx (talk) 08:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and source. This was an important term in the 19th century, but is now mostly seen in academic circles and -- oddly -- US Republican rhetoric (as a supposed driver behind American liberalism). It is certainly not a neologism. It is a key trigger for Marx in the development of working-class consciousness. Alternatively redirect to a slightly-less-essayish class conflict. --Dhartung | Talk 09:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete -- per nominator...--Camaeron (t/c) 11:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge to Envy which could use a section of this sort. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:No original research or WP:NEO. Prolongued failure to produce reliable sources for the claims is an indicative that the article is either original research or neologism.⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 05:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
