New page[edit]

It is a bit surprising that no one has written an article on this topic yet, which is barely referenced on supervenience. I have done a lot of research on this topic and plan to add to it in the next few weeks, but other suggestions are welcome, as are edits from users familiar with the relevant literature, and/or who can help edit the current text into more readable, less stuffy "academic" language. The only link to it at the moment is from the supervenience article, which points to a controversy over the principle which I have not yet addressed; I will add material on that soon.

Deletion proposal[edit]

User_talk:Kudpung recently recommended this page for deletion on the ground of WP:Original research.

I removed the deletion notice and ask that it not be reinstated for reasons already listed in my first note. Anyone familiar with meta-ethics should be well aware that moral supervenience is a topic of major importance in our field, and a wikipedia article on this is sorely needed; it is barely mentioned even on the general supervenience article. I am aware that the current first-draft of the article is inadequate--DUH! But don't kill the tree while it is just a sapling. I use an original example on the page, but otherwise all the claims are straight from the literature; most are already well-sourced, but doubtless a few more could be footnoted, and I will add these as I have time. I thought it was important to first clarify the concept to encourage others to add relevant material. If you are familiar with the topic, please add anything helpful; if not, give the rest of us some time to do so. ScottForschler (talk) 12:25, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
