The Sociology Behind the Diagnostic Model of Mental Illness
Nomination: I came across this because it was in the category of pages needing their neutrality checked. My evaluation is that the page appeared to be biased because it is a personal essay (albeit a short, formatted, and wikified one), which violates Section 1.3.3 of the WP:NOT policy. Furthermore, I have concerns that the essay is violating the "It introduces an analysis or synthesis of established facts, ideas, opinions, or arguments in a way that builds a particular case favored by the editor, without attributing that analysis or synthesis to a reputable source" provision of WP:NOR, although the article may not be presenting a synthesis of the arguments advanced in the two books listed as "sources" and may instead simply be a case of presenting unchanged arguments from the books without attributing them correctly. Nonetheless, I think this entry is an essay and on that ground alone ought to be deleted. The Literate Engineer 01:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong delete Judging from the original content (which has hardly been changed since its creation, albeit now with different format), the article seems to violate both the WP:NOR and WP:POV policies. -- TBC Φ  talk?  01:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
