Rauding
The term is a neologism invented by Ronald P. Carver, a professor of educational psychology who died a year ago, to denote normal reading as opposed to skimming or scanning. Carver was an important figure in his field, but this term does not enjoy wider usage. It could be defined briefly at Reading (activity) but this page should be deleted. --Angr 16:40, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete agreed. Neologisms from relatively notable people are still neologisms until they become widespread. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  17:04, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Rauding scores around 400 hits on Google. The term appears in a number of medical and language journals. I am inclined to vote keep on this one. Article needs expansion. Megan1967 01:54, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to reading (activity). This neologism seems to have been adopted by the scientific community. But it seems there is more to the theory than the article tells. See this for instance, which makes reference to the "rauding diagnostic" for reading disabilities. But I still think we should improve an article on the general topic first and then make more specific articles. JoaoRicardo 03:51, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I've across this article a while ago, and I agree with JoaoRicardo, redirect and merge. Mgm|(talk) 09:09, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, this term is not widely accepted enough for a dedicated article. Wyss 23:58, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge & redirect. Wile E. Heresiarch 08:29, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
