[edit] Nationalism studies

You should create that article in userspace like here until it's ready for its debut in mainspace which is for encyclopedic information. Cheers, Carlossuarez46 18:28, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• WP has guidelines and standards for notability see WP:N, for what constitutes reliable sources see WP:RS, you should also read the general inclusion criteria at WP:NOT - so if Nationalism studies is not more than the study of nationalism it probably is not encyclopedic, just as we don't have articles on Economics studies, Spanish studies, Politics studies, Biology studies, Chemistry studies. However if significantly more can be said and coverage in reliable 3rd party sources can back it up, some studies do have articles: Women's studies,Religious studies, etc. You should check those out to see what is likely to be required to have an article.

  • There needs to be citations to reliable sources to its notability. Carlossuarez46 20:59, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
    • You should see the difference between primary sources and secondary sources. Carlossuarez46 21:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Compromise

Re: Template talk:Infobox Person#Nationality and citizenship – After more entertaining argumentation I rather suddenly hit on a compromise position. Might be worth reading, might not. PS: It is really, really creepy to most Wikipedians for you to wipe your talk page clean like you do; looks like you are trying to hide something. I would strongly advise using {{Archivebox}} and archiving old material. Seriously. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 15:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
