 * Delete per nomination. This is also the sort of text that, while apparently intended to mean something, is so vacuous that no reasonable person could be expected to make sense of it:  This article focuses on domestic practices. In order to consider how such a theory affects environmental governance, a sound understanding of the theory of practice is required, what it entails and how it works. Its relation to environmental governance is then discussed as part of the environmental governance network and managing environmental resources. The reasons for why focus is on practices and not behaviour in relation to the environment are set out. The discussion then examines how society can alter practices to make them more sympathetic to the environment. Using examples, the paper examines 3 theories of practice, Foucault’s concept of discourse and its effects on societal practice, Bourdieu's theory of distinction and finally Giddens structuration theory. The article concludes with an analysis of theories of practice, focusing on some key obstacles to successful a practice change.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:23, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Essay, synth, amongst other things. Seems to be of a pair with this article and my comments there also apply. Has a class been set a topic? --AJHingston (talk) 15:37, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is an orphan article with a non-searchable title chock full o' free form social science gibberish. For the deletionists among you who are appalled at my use of the Google machine to determine whether there is the likelihood of adequate sourcing out there in the wind, ummm, this one brings back 7 hits, all Wikipedia, Wikipedia mirrors, or spam.

 * Delete per nom. & others. This is an essay, not an encyclopedia article.--JayJasper (talk) 19:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
