 * Keep - as the nominator has not given any valid grounds for deletion. I did a cursory look at the sources and found that Maslow (1966) has 1.7k cites in Google scholar, and Feist (2008) has 282, so it does appear to be a notable academic sub-discipline.

 * Tentative Keep - This is certainly not a notable field of psychology, and 1700 citations on Google Scholar is not very many for a book published by a prominent psychologist in 1966. By comparison, Maslow's other works have 20-40,000 citations, so this is clearly one of his lesser works. However, there are several reliable references listed here and if the "suggested reading" section can be incorporated inline, I think that we have the beginnings of a decent article here.

 * Keep Eight thousand GS hits for the article title, few of which appear to be false positives. As a subject, it seems to have lagged behind the sociology of science in growth, but it's worth having an article on. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:19, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - we have an article on Sociology of Scientific Knowledge, so I don't see why we can't keep this article. Also, this article has a long list called "Suggested Readings", although I don't see why this can't be called "Further Reading". Vorbee (talk) 09:05, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
