[edit] Cultural prejudice

Cultural prejudice (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Having only skimmed the article yesterday, I decided to read it in full today, with the hope of cleaning up some of the POV and giving my thoughts to the author. However, while reading it I found myself wanting to put a {{fact}} template next to every sentence on the page. This article is hopelessly POV original research. My list of reasons for nominating this for AFD would stretch longer than the article itself, so I ask that anyone who comes across this discussion give the article a good read and decide for yourself. But just to give you some idea, the article is filled with citationless POV claims about the existence of God, various religious beliefs, and acts of God. It is also filled with citationless claims concerning cultural beliefs (the morality of homosexuality, for example). So, to summarize my point again, this is hopelessly POV original research with no references whatsoever. Someguy1221 21:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete "The cultural prejudice seems to become the main factor leading to the posible future extinction of human species." and that's just the first sentence. Nick mallory 01:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment: The first sentence has been deleted. Jim 13:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. If cultural prejudice does lead to the extinction of the human species, who will create the reliable sources to verify that? -- Metropolitan90 02:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment: Who would be interested in verification then? Jim 13:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Which parts are WP:NPOV and WP:OR with a huge serving of WP:SYN on the side? Jim 13:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, but don't salt. A decent article could conceivably be written at this title, but this POV essay isn't worth keeping, since there is nothing there to work from. *** Crotalus *** 06:51, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment: there was no article about this problem. IMHO such an article is needed at least to turn the attention of readers to such a problem in this civilization where 85% of civilized people believes in contradictory things and worse, some of them are willing to destroy those who don't share their particular prejudice, and even worse they have or will have in the near future the means to do just that. I dont' insist on my article being kept but some serious look at the problem by anybody would be appreciated. The sooner the better. Jim 17:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  • The article requests "all the fellow Wikipedians not to delete this page but to add more desriptions of identified prejudice to the list below". As a self-styled deliberate magnet for pushing The Truth™, to the exclusion of everything else, this article should go. I strongly recommend that JimJast (talk · contribs) review our Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policy, because this is not the first time that we've had xyr articles brought to AFD with non-neutrality concerns right at the forefront.

  • Speedy Delete It is hopelessly POV and OR, doesn't cite sources, and there is already a prejudice article. Queerudite 20:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
