Structural stage theory

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The concept of a "structural stage theory" is only mentioned on JSTOR a total of 6 times, all to do with Piaget's theory. This article should be deleted per WP:SIGCOV, as it appears to be trying to generalize the concept to promote the WP:FRINGE theories of Ken Wilber &#32;- car chasm (talk) 04:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Piaget's theory of cognitive development - There does seem to be some coverage in reliable sources of this concept but almost all in relation to Piaget's theory of cognitive development (eg., , , ). The present article appears to be trying to discuss this concept as a broader academic idea but I don't see the reliable sources to support this. In order to do this, we'd need reliable sources which explicitly discuss Piaget's theory in relation to the others mentioned here and call this collection of ideas "structural stage theory". In the article, there is one source from Piaget and then two sources which do not appear to use the phrase "structural stage theory" (and one of those is an unpublished masters dissertation). Thus this article appears to violate WP:SYNTH, WP:OR, and WP:NOTESSAY. WJ94 (talk) 09:32, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above, this is not independently notable but is worth a redirect and possibly a very brief mention at the target article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:21, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
