Crisis of liberalism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems like an essay about a neologism. Whether the neologism is notable or not, this article seems heavy in WP:OR. It doesn't discuss the term outside the lead; the sources used to define it are problematic - books without a page range. I found first in Google Books but couldn't verify the term is even used there, and the second one seems improperly cited (perhaps it is a chapter in another book), the book with stated ISBN doesn't seem to use this term at all. Bottom line, even if this term is notable, this mess of an essay seems in need of WP:TNT. Ping User:KAP03 who added essay-like cleanup template, User:Atlantic306 who added a prod template, and User:Staszek Lem who attempted to rewrite it.

 * Delete seems to suffer from original research, synthesis and a lack of neutrality and criticism of the subject (I didn't actually prod it, just added an edit summary but I agree with the prod and the AFD.) Atlantic306 (talk) 17:22, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete While it is true that there has been a spate of recent articles on this crisis  it is also true that everyone from Argentina to Karl Mannheim suffered a "Crisis of Liberalism" in the 1930s  and that someone or other has had one pretty much every month since.  This article, in each of its iterations, suffers from a fatal case of WP:SYNTH.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:08, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

 * comment please take a look at Crisis of faith page, same WP:OR IMO, while the term is better defined. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:46, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
