[edit] Neutral point of view

At best a reiteration of what's already at WP:NPOV; nothing to merge. Recommend redirecting. Stifle 21:17, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. As indicated on discussion page, used to be a redirect, but should be a separate neutral article (i.e. a neutral article about the neutral point of view, where WP:NPOV by nature has to be advocacy.) Fool 21:25, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

"Keep. The article is about NPOV in general, while WP:NPOV is about how NPOV specifically relates to Wikipedia. -- Saikiri~ 23:17, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep as Wikipedia isn't everything. WP:NPOV is an interpretation of Neutral point of view as it is applied to Wikipedia. This article has validity. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 00:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Valid topic. Herostratus 04:07, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, important to have an encyclopedia entry on exactly NPOV is. --Thephotoman 00:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. An example why this article is useful: we need to have something to link to when we say a newspaper takes a neutral stance. jareha 03:00, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Question. Is the term "neutral point of view" actually used outside of Wikipedia? If not, this term is non-notable. -- SCZenz 06:32, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Yes, it definitely is. Google found plenty of non-Wikipedia references for the concept. jareha 07:35, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
