Abjection in Modernity

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is an essay which applies the psychoanalytical concept of abjection to a series of topics. While interesting, the entire article is synthesized, pairing together a rather arbitrary list of pop culture media (cited to sources that do not mention abjection or otherwise attempt to psychoanalyze the subject) and citations to critical theory textbooks that introduce concepts and (with the sole exception of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre section) do not mention the pop culture elements discussed in this article. The TCM content could potentially be merged into abjection, but I don't see any way to make the rest of the content encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a place to publish original analysis or research, and ultimately that is what the content of this article is. signed,Rosguill talk 02:24, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete as policy is that Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Bakazaka (talk) 23:43, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete based on the policy of WP:ORIGINAL being violated. The essay itself is interesting and worth a thought, but it doesn't belong here on Wikipedia. Rosalina2427  (talk to me) 21:27, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
