Real utopian sociology

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No-one who is not connected to the project (or is, actually the originator of the term...) seems to have written about this. Out of 12 sources provided, 4 are not independent and 8 are entirely unconnected. My search can't find anything else of use. Appears to fail WP:GNG. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:41, 27 November 2018 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:41, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Regarding the sources in the article, the 8 you're saying are entirely unconnected are all examples of works that emerged from real utopia conferences and are all examples of real utopian sociology in practice. And the sources from the originator of the term seemed to make sense since it's an emerging field of sociology, but given the guidelines I can see how they might not meet Wikipedia standards. Last, below are notable articles/media coverage of real utopian sociology from other sources.
 * Thanks, Elmidae.

 * Thanks, that's some good stuff there. I think the secondary journal/newspaper coverage might do it. Let me look over the sources and I'll get back to it tomorrow. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:27, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, went through the sources and they demonstrate good uptake. I'll withdraw and put this list on the talk so people can use it for future expansion. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:08, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
