Human legitimacy principle

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

This is a promotional article for a non-notable group that is pushing a non-notable philosophy. The term "Human legitimacy principle" has only 80 ghits, most of which are either The Human Union website or online bookstores. This appears to be a recently invented concept which is espoused by a group of 40 largely non-notable individuals and very few other people. Fails WP:N and WP:SOAPBOX. andy (talk) 15:50, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

It is true that the human legitimacy principle might not satisfy the WP:N since it has not widely circulated or being accepted in the academic community or among political organizations. I am not familiar enough with Wikipedia's policy regarding notability to make a strong argument. The article was written to reference what I believed to be a sound concept, and in a manner not to present it falsely as notable. If strict notability is required, I will concur with deletion without further discussion.

 * delete seems self written, references only a single source, not notable, looks like an orphaned article.... the list to delete this goes on and on —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pstanton (talk • contribs) 07:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
