[edit] Maxims on authoritarianism

While my initial feeling was that there could be a notable article written on this subject, I think this is just unsalvagable original research. Cheapestcostavoider 00:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - Probably original research/essay. - Richardcavell 01:17, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - I would prefer to see it merged, but it's completely unreferenced. Tyrenius 01:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral; very weak keep pending sources. On second thought... nah, let's BJAODN it if sources aren't forthcoming.
  • Delete. Some sort of orginal research essay. Not funny enough for BJAODN. DarthVader 02:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nothing to see here. Agree with nom that the idea is sound but the execution is not.--Deville (Talk) 03:44, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Unencyclopædic collection of unsourced, uncited quotations. Useless to a researcher.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, original research. --Terence Ong 08:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Arnzy (Talk) 08:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or BJAODN per User:Richardcavell. JIP | Talk 09:36, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep; seems more like an article in sorry need of citations than original research. Also the style is not very encyclopedic, so it could use stylistic editing. But simply needing clean-up isn't grounds enough for deletion. --Ginkgo100 17:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per nominator. — TheKMantalk 20:48, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
