Aestheticization as propaganda

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod; reads and presents like an essay. The overall tone, and indeed the topic, is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Moreover, the article is laden with original research and unverified claims. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 03:11, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, agree with nom. I encountered this article as a prod that was almost expired, at WP:PRODSUM. It is entirely an opinion piece guised as an encyclopedia article (although less discreetly towards the bottom of the article) – frankly, the article should have run its course through prod, due to its tone and obvious crossing the line of what Wikipedia is not.

 * Delete Could alternatively be redirected to the one book used as source if it's discussed there substantially. But this subject is not appropriate or notable per guidelines. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:30, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Definitely reads like an essay on the topic—but is this phrase even an appropriate term of art in the philosophy community? It appears to be original research. TheFeds 06:24, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I tagged it as a prod first off and still believe it should be deleted. Unsourced, plenty of OR, I suspect this is the distillation of someone's undergrad thesis. It really says very little although in a nice wooly way. For good measure it is stuffed full of POV. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 23:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - The prod tag was removed by a user who has been removing prod tags for little to no reason. In this case his only reason for contesting the prod was the fact that the article is 5 years old. Delete per all the previous reasons, and per WP:SNOW. --  At am a chat 19:50, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
