[edit] Profundity

The term "profundity" is not used in this manner in axiology, by Whitehead or as far as I'm aware in any field. It seems to be putting across the POV of www.livejournal.com/users/mostconducive/ but is entirely unencyclopaedic. I'm not aware of any other uses of the term which might require a mere rewriting of the article as opposed to it's removal 83.67.18.175 13:57, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

• Google returns some stuff, not sure how much of it is useful though. Some of the links seems to support the claims regarding Whitehead in the article. Keep for now. Vashti 14:35, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Seriously POV and specialized appropriation of the term in an article comprised of a number of sentence fragments. The problem I have is not that this is true or untrue, but rather that it is original research. This is one person's attempt at synthesizing and comprehending several philosophical approaches to a particular term/concept. The problem is that this represents new work, a new synthetic concept, and is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Had the article been a point by point discussion of the term in this person's philosophy, that person's philosophy, and the other person's, it might have been ok, as then it would have been a report. However, once it takes up the cudgel of "it means," it goes over to original research. Geogre 15:53, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, for reasons well articulated by Geogre. A personal essay, not an encyclopedic review of how a technical term is used. Note the absence of any references. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Not encyclopedic. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 17:10, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• This is one of the contributions that I was referring to in Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Paradigmeter. Note also that the anonymous author has repeatedly removed {{cleanup-technical}} without modifying the article one whit to make it more comprehensible to non-experts.
