[edit] Cultural identity

Appears to be (confusing) original research exclusively. See Wikipedia:No_original_research. Sandstein 14:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Seems to be a reasonable article topic. Needs cleanup, maybe, but not deletion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • The topic is perfectly reasonable, of course, but the article contains only original research right now. (Or should we just delete everything except maybe the introductory sentence and then continue improvement?) Sandstein 19:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and improve. Logophile 16:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Feels like a copyvio, but I can't find an online source. --Carnildo 23:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete. Blatant copyvio. See [1]. I'm not sure how to change this to speedy.  freshgavin^TALK   23:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • That's a Wikipedia mirror, as are most of the other Google hits for lines from this article. --Carnildo 00:14, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Oof. Didn't expect a mirror to have such a different layout. Won't make that mistake again. -   -;;. Still feels like a copyvio, the initial definition is worded exactly the same on tons of sites that aren't mirrored, but if nothing is found, then I say keep and cleanup.  freshgavin^TALK   04:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Notable topic with more two and a half million Google hits [2] and there are 1860 papers listed on Ebbsco Academic Search Premier search for that topic. The copyvio alleged by user Freshgavin isn't relevant because it seems to be a mirror of the Wikipedia article. Capitalistroadster 00:02, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep with major cleanup. An important topic, but the discussion is limited in its usefulness and badly written. --The Famous Movie Director 00:36, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
