Talk:Cultures of silence

FOR INFORMATION ONLY

Issues
As far as I can tell this is about Secrecy, for which there is already an entry. The paragraph "Pedagogic use of silence: extension of the concept" may be about silence, but it's so theory laden and jargon-heavy that I can't tell. This appears to be an essay rather than an encyclopedia entry. Hairhorn (talk) 02:44, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The latest additions on Buddhism and Taoism are about silence, not secrecy. This whole essay is founded on an equivocation. Hairhorn (talk) 14:23, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

This article may need reframing, split or merge but the objections stated are not arguments for deletion. No worry. I started a "friendly" afd on Communalism to spur a consensus for reorganization, and that was successful. Please read [] I will review the complaints and make counter-proposals probably within the next day or two. I think there are some problems but they would involved different templates, not afd. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration/. Bard गीता 00:41, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I would suggest you focus your arguments for keeping at WP:Articles for deletion/Cultures of silence, as communalism has nothing to do with this AfD. Angryapathy (talk) 13:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That was an example of a friendly afd intended to spur a reorganization not an actual, outright deletion.Bard गीता 21:34, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Clean up to-do

 * Group "secrecy" in appropriately indented structure. Check for redundancy and link to main articles.
 * Revfiew for OR
 * Review for SYNTH
 * Review SYNTH policies and guidelines
 * Consistency review: do SYHTN and OR policies conform to overall WMF wikiways?
 * If Y=conform this article
 * If N=Write essay, seek consensus on appropriate policy

If Y=concede afd and find other site for this work, with less stringent OR rules If N= write up justification and present to afd debate Bard गीता 21:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Conduct literature search for existing interpretations of Cultures of Silence and linkages to writing about victim-silencing
 * Review literature search for existing interpretatons linking organizational psychology of secrecy driven organizations to the cultures of silence discussed by Paulo Freire and victim advocates.
 * Determine whether this is novel SYNTH

Success: Eliminating a Culture of Silence Let’s look at a case where leaders successfully taught this skill set to help reverse a costly culture of silence. Consider the work of executives and HR experts at aerospace giant Lockheed Martin.12 http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/documents/163812.htm

Key insights from the debate on nfd and research thereafter
The book COS and the concept, including BOTH its academic exploration AND its application by social workers, are two different topics. They are related, but distinct. We have a page on Isaac Newton. We have a page on the Laws of Motion. No one arbitrarily merges them. The same should apply here as well. Bard गीता 01:40, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Temp content pending. close.
