Anamodernism

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An invented term... original research. May also be connected to Vladan Kuzmanović, a promotional effort. In any case, this is an invented non-notable subject. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:21, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article is largely incomprehensible. It reads like much postmodernist writing, as if it was badly translated from French (even if the author is a graduate of American universities).  This is the sort of writing that was spoofed in the Sokal affair.  Robert McClenon (talk) 05:34, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Subject of the article does not meet WP notability criteria for WP:GNG. Agree with the nominator that it was likely written to promote Vladan Kuzmanović (also up for deletion). Strong indication of possible COI. Or as points out, it could be a Sokal affair-type hoax. It reads like it was created using a Postmodernism Generator random-phrase generator (Dada Engine), written as a parody the opacity of certain art historical texts. I had tagged it for hoax, but the article creator removed the tag. It does not make any sense whatsoever, and is not an improvement to the encyclopedia.

 * Delete whether it is a manifesto or a hoax; it is not an encyclopedia article. Vexations (talk) 14:26, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
