Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of publications in philosophy (2nd nomination)


 * Copied from the artilce page
 * Comment - Ok probably not the place to start this discussion, but I just removed the expletive in the sentence above and it has been revereted based on WP:NOT. To me this does not make sense in this case, as this is not about article content being censored, but someone using language which many Wikipedians may find offensive in a deletion debate. The removal of an offensive term in this context seems in line with Wikipedia's policy on profanity Profanity - this explains a presumption against the inclusion of the expletive unless not including detracts from the article.

 * WP:PROFANITY does not authorize you to remove someone else's expletive on a discussion page. Simões ( talk/contribs ) 17:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The only word you are allowed to remove is "Rand" - this is not due to Wikipedia Policy, but rather as an established precedent. (The foregoing comment is provided solely for it's humorous relief and not meant to offend.   Those who might not find it funny may ignore it).  Steve 18:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but WP:CIVIL suggests that as a valid course of action. We really don't need to use profanity to express ourselves in a learned community such as Wikipedia.Madmedea 19:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * But we can. I reverted to preserve the sentiment or sense or mode of the author's comment. If there is consensus that removing it does not alter his comment significantly, then I have no problem with that. I feel the particular expletive did not have the potential to create any conflict in that context, at least not outside of this discussion here, though you have good reason to question it. –Pomte 22:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
