Stereotype inevitability

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This page is a soapy personal essay and, despite having a long list of references, combined it reads like a high school project. Merge relevent content with Stereotype and delete the page. Escape Artist Swyer Talk to me The mess I've made 21:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This seems to be lifted from somewhere else; compare the two Mandsford (talk) 00:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Rather, I suspect that page lifted it from WP. Otherwise, why would it include the merge tags at the top? justinfr (talk) 02:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Smerge in an ideal wikiworld but I see the request for sources on the Talk Page is over 3 months old . Delete Per more thorough check of article alongside source provided by Mandsford. Plutonium27 (talk) 02:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)Plutonium27 (talk)
 * Delete This article is definitely WP:OR, WP:SOAP, WP:ESSAY and WP:COPYVIO. Mandsford is right and I think it is WP:COPYVIO. -- Grrrlriot (♠ ♣ ♦ ♥ †) 02:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - An essay of original research. Jезка  (talk) 11:18, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - but note that parts of this seem to be better referenced and better written than the current section Stereotype, and perhaps ought to be merged there. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge then delete. I'm pretty familiar with the psychology stereotyping literature, but haven't heard of 'stereotype inevitability' as a unique term. The article is well-referenced, however, from peer-reviewed journals and it would be a shame to lose the info. Whatever isn't included in the article Stereotypes should be moved there. I'll try to work on that shortly. justinfr (talk) 02:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This 2 year old article is too uncohesive for my admittedly subjecive taste. I couldn't fully comprehend the author's points. Artene50 (talk) 09:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
