 * Keep There are many sources which discuss the concept and contrast it with collectivist cultures. See Communicate!, for example.  Our editing policy is to improve such weak starts, not to delete them. Warden (talk) 07:36, 1 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Was this all developed from Geert Hofstede? Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory    D r e a m Focus  11:21, 1 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Harry Triandis' 1995 book Individualism & collectivism seems to be cited a lot. Here's paper of his which can be read.  There's plenty in there about the topic.  Warden (talk) 15:50, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * comment&mdash;i don't know about hofstede, but i'm guessing that a lot of it was taken from this web site (or maybe the website from here, although given the newness of the article i doubt it). it's tweaked enough so that the duplication detector report isn't convincing, but searching in the ashland.edu page for phrases from the article at hand is pretty darn convincing.&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 02:27, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination, and since any relevant information that could be added to this article is seemingly already in Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. Yaron K. (talk) 13:53, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep per arguments of User:Warden, this is a very salvageble topic, of upmost importance to wikipedia. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 17:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment - I dunno, isn't this a fork of Individualism? Now, admittedly, that page is bogged down with philosophy gunk — but aren't we talking about the same thing here, albeit in the lingo of sociologists? Carrite (talk) 17:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
