::To your third point: interestingly, the [[Media Bias/Fact Check]] website you point to is classified by Wikipedia as a generally unreliable source.

::And to your forth: this point is addressed in the very Wikipedia Page mentioned above [[WP:USEFUL]] <span style="font-family: Courier; background-color: black; padding: 2px 3px 1px 3px;">[[User:Lindsey40186|<span style="color: white"><b>Lindsey40186</b></span>]] [[User talk:Lindsey40186|<span style="color: white">(talk)</span>]]</span> 20:05, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

:::Agree, this isn't exactly a big hitter on Google, but the threshold here isn't [[WP:SIRS]]. Google certainly turns up quite a good few articles and discussions, and some of whichthose lead to this page, so the content in debate is already referenced a lot. A section heading doesn't need to have notability in its own right, as made clear in [[WP:NNC]]. There appears to be no issue of correctness. So we're left with considerations of [[WP:UNDUE]]: at the time of writing, there are under 160 words on Grahams Hierarchy (+ those in the diagram), in an article under 1200 words (excluding refs) so it's about 13% of the text content, which seems plausible. SoGiven givenall that, '''!vote to retain section'''. I [[User:Chumpih|<span style="text-shadow: 2px 2.5px 3px #448811bb">Chumpih</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Chumpih|t]]} 04:07, 07:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

::::In my view this is a self-promotional article, backed by self-promotional, personal website with a completely subjective taxonomy not backed by even single source from argumentation theory, conversation analysis, nor discourse analysis.

::::An example of name calling - I would suspect, written by the author - is "The author is a self-important dilettante". But let's be honest, isn't he?

::::Can someone explain why this taxonomy is even a pyramid? Maslow's justified the shape such higher levels of needs become motivating for humans after the lower levels are satisfied. Without any theoretical justification, this is just a self-promotional sham branded by it's own name. [[User:Okaminski|Okaminski]] ([[User talk:Okaminski|talk]]) 18:42, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

:::::I'm slightly struggling to parse some of the grammar in that comment, but as an argument it appears to be motivated by ironic levels of ad hominem and name calling. I agree with [[User:Chumpih|Chumpih]]. [[User:MichaelMaggs|MichaelMaggs]] ([[User talk:MichaelMaggs|talk]]) 22:30, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
