Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Neo-Marxism

If all the people who are voting "keep" also take the time to turn this into the good article they seem to believe it could be, I would be very glad.

However, i am concerned that many people who vote "keep" have not actually read the bodies of literature being identified as "neo-Marxist." I think as a result they are taking the term out of context, and misinterpreting it. It is clearly not the name of something. There is no actual thing called "neo-marxism" we can write an article about. When people use the word "neo-Marxism," they are in effect just saying "this is something new." Well, great! Every decade people come up with new forms of Marxism. And many of these forms merit an article. But the fact that - at a specific moment in time - people responded to something by calling attention to its being "new," does not mean that we should take all of these forms and write an article about all of them, as if they actually had something in common aside from their being forms of Marxism. Which is why that is the article that should cover them. Some of these neo-Marxisms are never called "neo" any more. Wanna know why? ten of twenty years later, they are no longer new.

Is AfD broken
Look, I personally don't care whether the article is deleted or not - if people really think that the article in its current crappy state can be transformed into a reasonably good article, hey, wonderful! So it is a little sad to see that, since beginning this process, no one has gone to work improving the article.

People who voted to "keep" made some promising suggestions. I don't want to get in the way! So why don't those of you who voted to "keep" spend a little time and actually make a few of those improvements you envision? If each person who voted to "keep" did that, well, maybe it really would turn into an encyclopedia worthy of WP.

I wait to see if any of the people who voted to "keep" do any work on it in the next few weeks. If they don't, if might be time to delete it. Slrubenstein  |  Talk 18:27, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
