[edit] Dialectical method

Dialectical method (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Unclear what this article is about; in any case, it's based on a source that Georg Wilhelm Freidrich [sic] Hegel was a 'transformational Marxist social psychologist'. Not very reliable, I'd say. Qwertyus 02:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete this article is just... bad and wrong and there is already one on dialectic, i believe. --Buridan 04:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete the article on Georg Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel handles the discussion on the proposal of Hegel's dialectic quite well. This aricle seems to be off the mark in several areas, or at least so incomplete to be misleading. With a very confusing subject like this, an article would have to be quite long and involved to even begin scratching the surface of the intracicies thereof. SkierRMH 10:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete A rather peculiar article. Chairman S. Talk Contribs 23:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per Buridian and SkierRMH. - Sam 18:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Could be speedied as patent nonsense, actually. Comprehensible or not, this content is not related to anything that usually goes by the name "dialectical method." -- Rbellin|Talk 23:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
    Actually, I tried that, but Sugarcaddy replied that 'it's not patent nonsense if it's based on a cited reference.' Qwertyus 17:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and put it out of our misery. Source's spelling of "Freidrich" comes from an ad for Total Quality Management:
    Total Quality Management [TQM] is based upon the Hegelian dialectic, invented by Georg Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel, a transformational Marxist social psychologist. Briefly, the Hegelian dialectic process works like this: a diverse group of people (in the church, this is a mixture of believers (thesis) and unbelievers (antithesis), gather in a facilitated meeting (with a trained facilitator/teacher/group leader/change agent), using group dynamics (peer pressure), to discuss a social issue (or dialogue the Word of God), and reach a pre-determined outcome (consensus, compromise, or synthesis).
I see the article has been converted to a set of quotes from Lenin, which is an improvement, but not keepable: we need something more neutral. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Delete It would seem like simple logic to have some sorucs. Fails WP:V. Davidpdx 12:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
