War of Ideas

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The article was prodded. Prod removed without explanation. Sources added were a combination of general sources plus Rand Corporation report links. I believe that the "War of Ideas" is not a usage that, like "War on Terror", has notable usage. I request an AfD delete as this article is almost creating an original research paper based on reports named similarly, as such. Request AfD delete.   ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  17:28, 10 April 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is an essay written around a phrase.  It is a good essay, but is an essay and is original research.  Note the tentative introduction, and the absence of citations in the lead (introduction).  Note the typical paragraph structure, with an uncited opening statement followed up by referenced support for the opening statement  sentences of the paragraphs,  As typical of original research, the references are exclusively primary sources for the subject, just examples; they are not about the subject.  As a term, it is not well defined, and is not included at Wiktionary .  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
