I hope I'm not breaking any rules with this nomination. Last time, we ended up with a no-consensus closure on account of an active merge discussion for this article and Culture Change. However, it seems that it's been decided the content of the articles are too different for salvaged pieces of this one to got into the other one. This article is pretty deep into essay territory and I think it would be easier to delete it and start over than try to fix it. TheDracologist (talk) 02:08, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Culture change, merging anything that can be salvaged. We obviously don't need two articles forking the one subject. The article is hopelessly ambitious, taking on a very large and nebulous subject with little more than opinion and WP:OR as structure for its wild generalisations: it needs a total rewrite. The Rochon reference might lead to something, given some work, but the article is absurdly under-cited. Essentially the theory section is one sentence, and the division into Western and Indigenous is untenable, being at best hegemonic and at worst utterly unacceptable. If people prefer to Delete, I'd go along with that, just ping me if so. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:58, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge with Culture change. Do not delete, but make it a redirect to keep edit history and content for reusing if needed. My very best wishes (talk) 04:09, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
