List of philosophies
Hi. Please do not continue to add a link about a philosophy that has a name identical to your username, as this is potentially considered Self-promotion and a COI. However you may discuss if you believe it has enough notability to merit an article. If it is notable enough, then you may re-add it to the article. Thanks. ~ AH1 (discuss!) 21:53, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * In elaboration to the original terse reply, creating an article typically requires third-party sources. When the only source available to support your potential article is your website, however, this runs into two main problems:


 * 1) Wikipedia articles explain what an idea, object, etc. actually is (or at least what it entails), as opposed to ideas derived from that topic (Drishtantoism?) from an in-universe perspective. I'm referring to the fact that a site offering examples of a philosophical idea, view or concept does not explain what it is.
 * 2) For an idea to be established in terms of interpretive value, it is helpful to have third-party quotations and sources that explain the context of that specific idea. A webpage from the faculty of X develops too little context.
 * Basically, I am trying to develop the list not so that it has an infinite number of ideas, but include philosophies and related topics for which an article can explain these ideas.
 * Or perhaps one can lose interest in reading when a suggestion imposes more suggestions that are apparently counter to one's preferred school (or train) of thought. ~ AH1 (discuss!) 01:56, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
