Cultural decay

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As written, purely an opinion piece with no independent references (no references). If expanded with scholarly sources, could be merged into Social disorganization theory or other sociological topics. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:03, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unreferenced. WP:TNT. Too much work to rewrite, even it would be notable, someone will have to start over keeping WP:CITE/WP:V in mind. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 21:02, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's quasi-referenced. St. claires fire (talk) 03:44, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete This is WP:SYNTH. The author has grouped a group of ideas from various articles, integrated by the chosen label of the author, in an attempt to create a Neologism. Integration = Synthesis = Delete. Tapered (talk) 06:09, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - poorly referenced, mostly SYNTH. It's also POV: the narrative of cultural decay/civilization collapse is a hugely politicized one, not something we can treat as factual. Fyddlestix (talk) 18:48, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
