Positive nationalism

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a bit of an essay. The sources cited do not really develop this as a major theory; the SRO citation is using "positive" as an adjective but does not define a term "positive nationalism", and the two newspaper citations use this phrase to editorialize. I am not sure "positive nationalism" names a known political philosophy. But the author appears determined to promulgate it, as evidenced by the declined draft Draft:Desh Ki Baat Foundation.

 * Delete: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOV. Proposition is correct in that it's written like an essay, and not a mainspace article. Theleekycauldron (talk) 11:49, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete This is an essay which is arguing for a political philosophy that has not been articulated. -Indy beetle (talk) 12:36, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. George Orwell wrote about "positive nationalism" more than 70 years ago but there's little evidence that it's ever taken off as a political theory. None of the sources cited in the article really support the content of the article, beyond showing that the adjective "positive" sometimes goes in front of the noun "nationalistm". At a minimum, this essay needs WP:TNT. Fiachra10003 (talk) 12:11, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
