[edit] Scientific imperialism

Scientific imperialism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The term "scientific imperialism" is not frequently used in sociological debates over science. Furthermore, the text of the article is quite messily POV, and cites many references that do not support its thesis. Skinwalker 13:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and bring up concerns on the talk page. This is about deletion, and you haven't cited a valid reason to delete the concept, except "I don't like it." Concerns need to be brought up on the talk page, or you can work on the article to bring it to a higher standard. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 17:34, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Well, the nominator did say, "The term [...] is not frequently used in sociological debates over science," perhaps implying non-notability, but the sources already provided and a subsequent brief search show that it's cited in some legitimate articles. It certainly isn't a neologism or anything. Content concerns should be covered on the talk pages, as mentioned above. ◄Zahakiel► 19:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Apparently it's an encyclopedic expression[1]

but the article should be improved.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 19:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Whilst I accept that the article is not perfect, BUT I do not think the concerns expressed comprise a sufficient cause for deleting the whole article, which seems a rather excessive reaction. It can be improved and I am happy to have a bash at doing precisely that, including deleting anything that seems unjustified or unsubstantiated. I happen to have more material that can be incorporated into the article, which I have not yet had time to work on. If it is acceptable to others, then I propose to implement these changes and then, dialogue permitting, see how it goes. thanks Peter morrell 10:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
