The result was redirect to Open Court Publishing Company. There is no clear concensus to delete after two relistings. As an alternative to deletion, a plausible redirect is a valid outcome per the opinions expressed. Philg88 ♦talk 15:20, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep I removed any primary sources and added others. There are significant results for this books search. Because the book was published a long time ago, there may less discussion on it web-wide. Nadirali نادرالی (talk) 21:40, 8 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete There's dozens of these books, covering everything from Star Wars and Star Trek through to Game of Thrones, South Park, the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and the films of Quentin Tarantino. They have absolutely no relevance to philosophy as an academic practice—they basically contain capsule summaries of philosophy to be sold to fan communities. I had a look on Google Books and Google Scholar and can't find any evidence that these books are cited by anyone outside of other Open Court 'popular culture and philosophy' books. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:09, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Very few books discuss the philosophy of Star Wars so I don't agree with that statement. And it was compiled by academicians.--Nadirali نادرالی (talk) 21:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Open Court Publishing Company as suggested above. These are not serious philosophy books, more like gateway materials used to try and introduce philosophy to pop culture fans; that they have been compiled by academics is not relevant.

 * Comment This article is not getting enough views to warrant a redirect. As discussed above, this is not a serious philosophy book. My original nomination of delete stands. Nathan121212 (talk) 17:37, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That line of reasoning is not compatible with WP:R. We have a very strong presumption against deleting plausible redirects. Low page views will not suffice because we have other reasons including preserving the page history, facilitating accidental linking and avoiding the creation of duplicate articles.
