 * Comment. If this is deleted, it should probably be recreated as a redirect to progressivism.  postdlf (talk) 15:59, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom., Steve Dufour & WP:OR. Per postdlf, redirect to Progressivism should be considered.--JayJasper (talk) 00:00, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * MERGE with Progressivism. The topic does have notability (WP:N) yet, is dis-ambiguous (WP:DISAMBIG) with progressivism. Time might be provided for the transfer of the content.--User:Warrior777 (talk) 00:40, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:POTENTIAL. While the article as it stands lacks citations and has other serious issues, these are content issues and not reasons for deletion; the question for this debate is the notability of the topic, which is readily apparent in a minimal-effort source review.  Notability requires that independent reliable source coverage exist, not that it be presently cited. —chaos5023 (talk) 01:11, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
