Meaning (scientific)


On an organizational level, there would appear to be no need to fork a separate "scientific" definition of the existing meaning, and no justification is given for this separate entry. The content itself reads like an opinion essay exploring a particular set of views (Jonas Salk), and a couple other (somewhat tenuous) connections. There is no reason to believe that this text represents or could reasonably be edited to represent a general, NPOV overview of "Meaning" in the "scientific" sense, even if such a separate article were to be deemed necessary.

 * Delete - per nomination. As further comment and fair disclosure, this article is part of a range of similar problematic additions by the same editor (see User_talk:Stevenson-Perez) in articles such as Jonas Salk, data (diff), Wisdom (diff) etc. -- David Oberst 21:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
